MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample is a malicious OLE document containing a large VBA macro. The presence of an AutoOpen macro and GetObject calls strongly suggests that the macro is designed to execute arbitrary code upon opening. The heuristic 'OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC' further indicates that the macro's p-code is set up for auto-execution via GetObject within the AutoOpen function. While no specific download URL was extracted, the macro's structure implies it's a downloader for a second-stage payload. The document body is heavily obfuscated and unreadable, providing no direct clues to the lure.

Heuristics 6

  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject call
  • 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.
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info 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.
  • 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.
