MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious Link

The sample contains VBA macros and uses CreateObject, indicating a malicious script is present. The document body uses a fake prize draw lure, consistent with phishing or scam tactics. The VBA macro likely attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload, though the exact mechanism is obfuscated.

Heuristics 5

  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Callback phishing phone lure medium SE_CALLBACK_LURE
    Document asks the user to call a phone number in billing, refund, subscription, fraud, or security context — consistent with callback phishing or tech-support scam patterns
  • Fake invoice / payment lure low SE_INVOICE_LURE
    Document contains invoice or payment language paired with an action verb — useful context when combined with link, macro, or attachment indicators
  • 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.
