The document contains a VBA macro that is triggered by the 'document_open' event. This macro writes content to a file named 'msWordAccess.hta' and then executes it using WshShell.run. The content written to the HTA file is derived from the document's body, suggesting a downloader or initial execution stage. The macro's execution of an HTA file indicates an attempt to run a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 4

  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open 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.
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • 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.
