MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The sample contains VBA macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. The critical heuristic OLE_VBA_DOWNLOAD indicates the macro attempts to download a second-stage payload from a URL. The ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature as a downloader. No specific family could be identified, but the behavior is consistent with a downloader trojan.

  • Suspicious extracted artifact medium 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.
  • 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.
