MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample is a malicious OLE document containing VBA macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro that calls the Shell() function. This indicates an attempt to execute arbitrary code. The ClamAV detection of 'Win.Trojan.Dropper-137' strongly suggests this file is a dropper for further malware. The document body contains obfuscated text, but the presence of the AutoOpen macro and Shell() call are sufficient to infer the malicious intent.

Heuristics 6

  • Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Shell() call in VBA
  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Dropper-137 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Dropper-137
  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
  • VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC
    Compiled VBA/cache stream contains an auto-execution token together with shell/download/object-execution tokens. This catches p-code-only or source-extraction-failure macro documents where visible source is unavailable.
  • 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 macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
