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

The sample contains a VBA macro that executes a PowerShell command. This PowerShell command decodes a Base64 string, decompresses it, and then executes it. The decoded payload is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as indicated by the 'cmd.exe /C' invocation and the PowerShell execution. The presence of the 'Document_open' macro and the 'Shell' function strongly suggests this is a malicious document designed to execute arbitrary code upon opening.

    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.Sload-6743946-0
  • Suspicious cmd.exe invocation with execution flag high SC_STR_CMD
    Suspicious cmd.exe invocation with execution flag
  • Reference to PowerShell high SC_STR_POWERSHELL
    Reference to PowerShell
  • LOLBin token sequence in document text high SE_LOLBIN_RUN_COMMAND
    Extracted document text contains a Windows script/execution tool name (PowerShell, mshta, cmd, rundll32, regsvr32, …) within 220 characters of a dangerous flag, command verb, or URL. This is a visible 'run this' instruction in HTML/PDF/RTF lure bodies, or — in macro-laden Office files — the macro's own string-pool entries appearing adjacent in extracted text.
