MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications

The sample contains a VBA macro that executes upon opening the document. This macro attempts to disable security warnings and then opens a password-protected document named 'reform.doc' with the password '2281337'. The macro also attempts to write to several registry keys related to Office security settings, likely to facilitate further malicious activity. The presence of the Document_Open macro and the attempt to bypass security measures indicate a malicious intent to deliver a payload or perform further actions.

Heuristics 5

  • Office EPRINT stream contains EMF object high CVE related OLE_EPRINT_EMF_OBJECT
    OLE ObjectPool contains an EPRINT stream with EMF data. This is rare in normal documents and is CVE-2007-3893/MS07-046-family evidence when paired with Office exploit payload anomalies, but the malformed EMF record is not proven by this rule alone.
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • 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.
