MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.003 Windows Command Shell

The file is a malicious OLE document containing VBA macros. Heuristics indicate the presence of Shell(), CreateObject(), and CallByName() functions, strongly suggesting the execution of arbitrary code. The ClamAV detection of 'Win.Trojan.W-417' further confirms its malicious nature. The primary attack pattern involves leveraging VBA to execute shell commands, likely for downloading and executing a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 8

  • Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Shell() call in VBA
  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.W-417 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.W-417
  • Reference to Windows Script Host high SC_STR_WSCRIPT
    Reference to Windows Script Host
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • CallByName call high OLE_VBA_CALLBYNAME
    CallByName 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
  • 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.
