MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Service Execution: Visual Basic T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer T1218.011 System Binary Proxy Execution: Rundll32 T1059.003 Command and Scripting Interpreter: Windows Command Shell

The sample is a malicious OLE document containing VBA macros. The macros utilize `CreateObject` and reference `certutil` for downloading and decoding payloads, indicating an Ingress Tool Transfer (T1105) attack pattern. The presence of `winmgmts:Win32_Process` and `Rundll32` suggests further execution of malicious code. The ClamAV detection of 'Doc.Dropper.Sagent-9765455-0' further supports its role as a dropper.

Heuristics 7

  • ClamAV: Doc.Dropper.Sagent-9765455-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Dropper.Sagent-9765455-0
  • Heap-spray pattern detected high SC_HEAP_SPRAY
    Repeated 0x41 (A) bytes found
  • Reference to certutil (download/decode) high SC_STR_CERTUTIL
    Reference to certutil (download/decode)
  • 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 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 — context-specific rules above attribute URLs they actually evaluated; this rule lists URLs that were present in the bytes but were not otherwise tied to a specific finding.
