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

The file contains VBA macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening a document. The critical heuristic firing for URLDownloadToFile in VBA indicates that the macro attempts to download a second-stage payload from a URL. The ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature as a downloader. The embedded URLs are benign schema references, but the presence of the AutoOpen macro and the URLDownloadToFile function strongly suggests the intent to download and execute arbitrary code.

Heuristics 6

  • URLDownloadToFile in VBA critical OLE_VBA_DOWNLOAD

  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
  • 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.
