• ClamAV: Doc.Virus.Pwshell-6755238-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
  ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Virus.Pwshell-6755238-0
• VBA project inside OOXML medium 5 related findings OOXML_VBA
  Document contains a VBA project — VBA macros present
• WScript.Shell usage critical OLE_VBA_WSCRIPT
  WScript.Shell usage
  Matched line in script

  Set a = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

• PowerShell reference in VBA critical OLE_VBA_PS
  PowerShell reference in VBA
  Matched line in script

  a.Run "powershell.exe" & " -noexit -encodedcommand " & b, 0, False

• CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
  CreateObject call
  Matched line in script

  Set a = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

• VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC
  Triggers on the COMBINATION of two tokens co-occurring in the same compiled VBA/cache stream: an auto-execution entry point (Auto_Open / AutoOpen / Document_Open / Workbook_Open / Auto_Close / AutoClose) AND a shell/download/object-execution token (Shell, CreateObject, GetObject, PowerShell, cmd.exe, URLDownloadToFile, WinHttp, XMLHTTP, ADODB.Stream, ShellExecute, ExecuteExcel4Macro). Neither token alone fires it — it is the pairing that flags p-code-only or source-extraction-failure macro documents where the visible VBA source is unavailable. The matched tokens are named in the detail line below.
• AutoOpen macro low OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
  AutoOpen macro
  Matched line in script

  Sub AutoOpen()

• Suspicious extracted artifact info 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.
