MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is a Microsoft Word template (.DOT) containing a large VBA macro. The macro utilizes CreateObject, a common technique for executing code, and exhibits VBA Chr string obfuscation, indicating a malicious intent to hide its functionality. The embedded URL 'http://www.goetz-reinecke.de' is likely used to download and execute a second-stage payload. The presence of obfuscated VBA code and the use of CreateObject strongly suggest a downloader or droppper malware.
