MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file contains VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro that is automatically executed when the document is opened. This macro uses a GetObject call, indicating an attempt to execute code. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Malware.Valyria-10034158-0' strongly suggests malicious intent, likely involving the download and execution of a secondary payload. The document body content is heavily obfuscated and does not provide clear user-facing text, but the heuristic firings are sufficient to infer the attack pattern.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Doc.Malware.Valyria-10034158-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Malware.Valyria-10034158-0
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject 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.
  • 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.
