MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample is a malicious OLE document containing VBA macros. The 'SE_ENABLE_LURE' heuristic indicates the document prompts the user to enable content, a common social engineering tactic. The presence of 'OLE_VBA_SHELL' and 'OLE_VBA_WSCRIPT' heuristics confirms the use of WScript.Shell for executing commands. The 'macros.bas' artifact is identified as a VBA macro, likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, although the specific commands are not detailed in the provided evidence.

Heuristics 8

Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL

Shell() call in VBA
WScript.Shell usage critical OLE_VBA_WSCRIPT

WScript.Shell usage
Reference to Windows Script Host high SC_STR_WSCRIPT

Reference to Windows Script Host
CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ

CreateObject 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 macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS

Document contains VBA macro code
Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LURE

Document instructs the user to enable macros or editing — a common technique used by malware droppers to bypass Office macro security settings
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.
