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

The file contains VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro that uses GetObject, indicating an attempt to automatically execute code when the document is opened. The ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Malware.Valyria-10034158-0' further confirms its malicious nature. The embedded URL, though marked as benign, is listed as an indicator. The primary intent appears to be the execution of a malicious macro to download and run a second-stage payload.

  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
