MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample contains a Document_Open VBA macro that executes a complex, obfuscated PowerShell command. This command decodes a Base64 string, decompresses it, and then executes it using PowerShell. The decoded payload is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as indicated by the PowerShell and cmd.exe execution heuristics.

Suspicious cmd.exe invocation with execution flag

Reference to PowerShell
LOLBin token sequence in document text high SE_LOLBIN_RUN_COMMAND

Extracted document text contains a Windows script/execution tool name (PowerShell, mshta, cmd, rundll32, regsvr32, …) within 220 characters of a dangerous flag, command verb, or URL. This is a visible 'run this' instruction in HTML/PDF/RTF lure bodies, or — in macro-laden Office files — the macro's own string-pool entries appearing adjacent in extracted text.

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.

Detection ClamAV: No threats found Obfuscation or payload: likely 26 of 49 identifiers look randomly generated (e.g. 'XKKjruSGAC') — consistent with name-mangling obfuscation.
