MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1547.001 Registry Run Keys / Startup Folder

The sample is a malicious Word document containing VBA macros. Heuristics indicate the macros attempt self-replication and execute a shell command. The script explicitly calls `Shell("\jdq\cc$\b.exe")`, indicating it attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload from that network path. The macro also attempts to tamper with AV settings and replicate itself to the Normal template.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Doc.Macro.DeleteMacro-6096859-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Macro.DeleteMacro-6096859-0
  • VBA macros detected medium 2 related findings OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Potential Shell call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Potential Shell call in VBA
    Matched line in script
    Shell ("\\jdq\cc$\b.exe")
  • VBA macro-virus self-replication / AV tampering critical OLE_VBA_MACRO_VIRUS_REPLICATION
    VBA macro programmatically rewrites VBA project code through the VBE object model (CodeModule/VBComponents InsertLines/DeleteLines/AddFromString or OrganizerCopy) to copy itself into the global template and other open documents, and/or disables Office macro-virus protection (Options.VirusProtection = False). This is the defining behavior of the W97M document macro-virus family — self-replicating code with no benign document use, independent of any AV signature.
    Matched line in script
            x6.codemodule.deletelines 1, x6.codemodule.CountOfLines
  • 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.
