MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1059.001 PowerShell

The sample contains VBA macros, indicated by the OLE_VBA_MACROS heuristic. A high-severity heuristic, SE_CLIPBOARD_COMMAND_LURE, flags that the document explicitly instructs the user to copy and paste content into a command-line execution context. This is further supported by the OLE_VBA_GETOBJ heuristic, suggesting the use of GetObject to potentially execute commands. No specific malware family could be identified, but the overall pattern suggests a downloader or initial execution stage.

Heuristics 5

  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject call
  • Clipboard command execution lure high SE_CLIPBOARD_COMMAND_LURE
    Document tells the user to copy or paste clipboard content into Run, PowerShell, cmd, or another shell-like execution context
  • 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
  • Environ() call (env variable access) low OLE_VBA_ENVIRON
    Environ() call (env variable access)
