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

The file is an OOXML document containing a VBA macro, specifically an AutoOpen macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. The presence of a Shell() call within the VBA code indicates that it is designed to execute arbitrary commands, likely to download and run a secondary payload. The ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Downloader.Ursnif06210-9875010-0' strongly suggests the Ursnif family and a downloader functionality.

  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
  • 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
