MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.003 Windows Management Instrumentation

The sample is a malicious OLE document containing VBA macros. The 'Document_Open' macro is configured to auto-execute and uses CreateObject to launch a WMI process, indicating it's designed to download and execute a second-stage payload. ClamAV detection confirms this as 'Doc.Downloader.Emotetdldr-7446545-0', a known Emotet downloader variant.

Heuristics 8

VBA WMI Win32_Process launcher critical OLE_VBA_WMI_PROCESS_CREATE

VBA macro builds or references a WMI moniker for Win32_Process and invokes .Create to start a command. This is a high-confidence macro execution chain that often hides the WMI class name through string concatenation or helper functions.
ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.Emotetdldr-7446545-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.Emotetdldr-7446545-0
Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN

Document_Open macro
CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ

CreateObject call
VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC

Compiled VBA/cache stream contains an auto-execution token together with shell/download/object-execution tokens. This catches p-code-only or source-extraction-failure macro documents where visible source is unavailable.
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 macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS

Document contains VBA macro code
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.
