MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1204.002 Malicious File

The file contains VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro that utilizes WScript.Shell and CreateObject to execute commands. This indicates the document is designed to download and execute a secondary payload, as suggested by the ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Downloader.87f88707f007f878-OOXML-9981544-0'. The presence of these critical heuristics strongly supports a malicious downloader pattern.

Heuristics 8

  • Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Shell() call in VBA
  • WScript.Shell usage critical OLE_VBA_WSCRIPT
    WScript.Shell usage
  • ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.87f88707f007f878-OOXML-9981544-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.87f88707f007f878-OOXML-9981544-0
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open 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
    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.
