T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros. The 'autoopen' macro is configured to execute a function that attempts to access a network path '\\esm-cpd\e$\ipid.exe'. This strongly suggests the document is designed to download and execute a malicious payload, characteristic of a macro-based malware dropper. The presence of 'Shell()' calls and auto-execution markers further supports this assessment.

Heuristics 7

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Ipid-4 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Ipid-4
  • VBA macros detected medium 4 related findings OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Shell() call in VBA
  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
  • Auto_Close macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOCLOSE
    Auto_Close macro
  • 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.
  • Legacy WordBasic auto-exec macro marker medium OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_AUTOEXEC
    OLE Word document contains a legacy WordBasic auto-execution marker such as AutoOpen, but no modern VBA project was recovered and no stronger macro-virus family marker was present. This is analyst-facing evidence for old Word macro execution surface, not a downloader or parser-CVE attribution by itself.
