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

The file is an OOXML document identified as malicious. It contains VBA macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code automatically when the document is opened. The presence of the AutoOpen macro suggests the intent is to run arbitrary code, likely to download and execute a second-stage payload. No specific family could be identified, but the delivery mechanism is clear.

Heuristics 3

  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
  • VBA project inside OOXML medium OOXML_VBA
    Document contains vbaProject.bin — VBA macros present
  • 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.
