MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is a malicious OLE document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro that uses CreateObject and references CreateProcess API. ClamAV also detected it as Ole2.Macro.Agent. The presence of a Document_Open macro that executes code upon opening strongly suggests a downloader or initial access mechanism. No specific family could be identified, but the techniques used are common for macro-based malware delivery.

  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC
