MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample is a malicious Office document containing VBA macros. The 'autoopen' macro triggers the execution of the 'A0754022' function, which contains a critical 'Shell()' call. This function is designed to execute arbitrary commands, as indicated by the 'SC_STR_CMD' heuristic firing. The presence of 'cmd.exe' in the heuristics suggests a direct command execution attempt.

Heuristics 8

  • ClamAV: Doc.Malware.Generic-6788311-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Malware.Generic-6788311-0
  • VBA macros detected medium 3 related findings OLE_VBA_MACROS

  • 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.
  • AutoOpen macro low OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro

  • Suspicious cmd.exe invocation with execution flag high SC_STR_CMD
    Suspicious cmd.exe invocation with execution flag
  • 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.
  • 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.
