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

The OOXML document contains VBA macros, indicated by the 'OOXML_VBA' and 'EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE' heuristics. The 'OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ' heuristic suggests the macro attempts to create objects for execution. The VBA script itself, though truncated, shows API calls to load libraries and execute functions, consistent with a downloader or initial execution stage. No specific malicious URLs or hashes were directly extracted, but the presence of the VBA project file is a key indicator.

Heuristics 4

  • 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
  • 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.
