MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is a malicious OOXML document containing VBA macros. The presence of a Document_Open macro and a CreateObject call indicates that the macros are designed to execute automatically when the document is opened. These macros likely download and execute a secondary payload, as suggested by the 'Suspicious extracted artifact' heuristic firing. No specific family could be identified, but the techniques used are common for macro-based malware delivery.

Heuristics 5

  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • Suspicious extracted artifact high EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
  • VBA project inside OOXML medium OOXML_VBA
    Document contains vbaProject.bin — VBA macros present
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
