MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The critical heuristics indicate the presence of VBA macros, specifically a Workbook_Open macro, which is designed to execute automatically. The critical ClamAV detections confirm this is a known malicious agent. The extracted URLs are highly suspicious and likely serve as download locations for secondary payloads. The VBA macro's intent is to download and execute a second-stage payload from the embedded URLs.

Heuristics 8

  • ClamAV: Win.Malware.Agent-9859837-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Malware.Agent-9859837-0
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
  • Workbook_Open macro high OLE_VBA_WBOPEN
    Workbook_Open macro
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • 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
  • Environ() call (env variable access) low OLE_VBA_ENVIRON
    Environ() call (env variable access)
  • 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.
