The sample is a malicious Office document containing VBA macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro, which is a common delivery mechanism for malware. The ClamAV detection explicitly names this as a Doc.Dropper.IcedID variant. The presence of CreateObject calls and the AutoOpen macro strongly suggest the script's intent is to download and execute a second-stage payload. The SHA256 hash is included as a primary IOC.

  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject 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.
