MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The OOXML document contains VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. The presence of a GetObject call further suggests dynamic execution. ClamAV detections confirm this file is a downloader. The primary intent appears to be downloading and executing a secondary payload, as indicated by the ClamAV signature 'Doc.Downloader.Generic-7561169-0'.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.Generic-7561169-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.Generic-7561169-0
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject call
  • VBA project inside OOXML medium OOXML_VBA
    Document contains vbaProject.bin — VBA macros present
  • 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.
