MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The OOXML document contains VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening the document. The heuristics indicate suspicious extracted artifacts and script execution terms. While no specific payload or URL was directly extracted, the presence of the Document_Open macro strongly suggests the intent to download and execute a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 4

  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • 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 project inside OOXML medium OOXML_VBA
    Document contains vbaProject.bin — VBA macros present
  • 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.
