MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample contains VBA macros, including an auto-executing Document_Open macro that uses CreateObject, indicating malicious intent. The heuristic 'SE_PASSWORD_ARCHIVE_LURE' strongly suggests the document's purpose is to prompt the user to open a password-protected archive, a common tactic to evade gateway scanning. The ClamAV detection further supports its malicious nature. While the specific family is not identifiable, the overall pattern points to a downloader or initial access mechanism.

Heuristics 8

ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.EmotetRed02224-9938637-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.EmotetRed02224-9938637-0
Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN

Document_Open macro
CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ

CreateObject 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.
Password-protected archive handoff high SE_PASSWORD_ARCHIVE_LURE

Document gives password instructions for an archive or attachment — often used to keep payloads encrypted until after gateway scanning
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
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.
