MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The file contains a high number of critical and high severity heuristics indicating the presence of VBA macros. Specifically, the 'OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC' and 'OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN' rules suggest an auto-executing macro within the document. The 'CLAMAV_DETECTION' rule further confirms its malicious nature as a downloader. The embedded URL, though benign according to the reputation label, is often used in conjunction with malicious macro execution to fetch further stages.

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
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.
