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

The file is a DOCM document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro that uses CreateObject and GetObject calls. ClamAV signatures identify it as 'Xls.Downloader.Emooodldr-10031562-0'. The extracted VBA macro 'macros.bas' contains functions that appear to download content from a file path, suggesting it acts as a downloader for a second-stage payload. The presence of the 'Emooodldr' family name in the ClamAV detection strongly supports this assessment.

Heuristics 8

  • ClamAV: Xls.Downloader.Emooodldr-10031562-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Xls.Downloader.Emooodldr-10031562-0
  • 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.
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject call
  • 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 project inside OOXML medium OOXML_VBA
    Document contains vbaProject.bin — 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.
