MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The file contains VBA macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro that uses CreateObject and CallByName, indicating it's designed to execute code. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Dropper.Agent-1537712' strongly suggests a dropper functionality. The VBA code itself appears to be obfuscated and contains functions related to mathematical calculations, but the primary malicious intent is evident from the macro execution and the ClamAV signature.

Heuristics 7

  • ClamAV: Doc.Dropper.Agent-1537712 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Dropper.Agent-1537712
  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • CallByName call high OLE_VBA_CALLBYNAME
    CallByName call
  • VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC
    Compiled VBA/cache stream contains an auto-execution token together with shell/download/object-execution tokens. This catches p-code-only or source-extraction-failure macro documents where visible source is unavailable.
  • 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 macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
