The OOXML document contains VBA macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro, which is a strong indicator of malicious intent. The presence of CreateObject calls and the 'EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE' heuristic suggest that the macro is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload. No specific family could be identified, but the delivery mechanism is consistent with macro-based malware.

Heuristics 5

  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen 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
  • 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.
