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

The file is a malicious OOXML document containing VBA macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. The presence of VBA code and the ClamAV detection strongly indicate malicious intent. The VBA script utilizes Windows API calls such as CreateProcess, suggesting it is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload, a typical behavior for macro-based malware.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Doc.Malware.Valyria-10015188-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Malware.Valyria-10015188-0
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
  • VBA project inside OOXML medium OOXML_VBA
    Document contains a VBA project — 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.
