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

The sample is a malicious OOXML document containing VBA macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. The presence of CreateObject calls and the ClamAV detection as a generic dropper strongly suggest that the macro is intended to download and execute a second-stage payload. The embedded URLs are benign schema references, indicating the malicious content is likely within the VBA code itself.

  • ClamAV: Doc.Dropper.Generic-9823841-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Dropper.Generic-9823841-0
  • 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.
  • VBA project inside OOXML medium OOXML_VBA
