The sample contains VBA macros that attempt to disable macro security settings and tamper with VBA project code for self-replication. The macro also attempts to execute a second-stage payload located at \\jdq\cc$\b.exe. The presence of the 'Doc.Macro.DeleteMacro' ClamAV detection further supports its malicious nature.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Doc.Macro.DeleteMacro-6096859-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Macro.DeleteMacro-6096859-0
  • VBA macros detected medium 3 related findings OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Potential Shell call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Potential Shell call in VBA
    Matched line in script
    Shell ("\\jdq\cc$\b.exe")
  • VBA macro-virus self-replication / AV tampering critical OLE_VBA_MACRO_VIRUS_REPLICATION
    VBA macro programmatically rewrites VBA project code through the VBE object model (CodeModule/VBComponents InsertLines/DeleteLines/AddFromString or OrganizerCopy) to copy itself into the global template and other open documents, and/or disables Office macro-virus protection (Options.VirusProtection = False). This is the defining behavior of the W97M document macro-virus family — self-replicating code with no benign document use, independent of any AV signature.
