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

The sample is a Microsoft Word document containing a large VBA macro. The heuristic firings indicate the presence of macros, a CreateObject call, and a lure for password-protected archives, suggesting the document is designed to deceive users into enabling macros to access a payload. The document body provides a pretext for restricted access, likely to encourage macro execution. No specific family could be identified, but the overall pattern points to a macro-based downloader.

Heuristics 5

  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • Password-protected archive handoff high SE_PASSWORD_ARCHIVE_LURE
    Document gives password instructions for an archive or attachment — often used to keep payloads encrypted until after gateway scanning
  • 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 — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
