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

The sample is a malicious DOC file containing a Document_Open VBA macro. This macro attempts to download and save a secondary payload to the user's template directory. The macro constructs the path for the saved file by concatenating strings, resulting in the path 'glib.docx'. The macro also attempts to modify the VBA warnings registry key to disable them, likely to prevent user prompts about macro execution. The specific payload and its ultimate purpose could not be determined due to macro obfuscation and truncation.

Heuristics 5

  • Office EPRINT stream contains EMF object high CVE related OLE_EPRINT_EMF_OBJECT
    OLE ObjectPool contains an EPRINT stream with EMF data. This is rare in normal documents and is CVE-2007-3893/MS07-046-family evidence when paired with Office exploit payload anomalies, but the malformed EMF record is not proven by this rule alone.
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info 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.
  • 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.
