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

The file is an OOXML document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. ClamAV detected this file as 'Doc.Downloader.Eksn-7566623-0', indicating it functions as a downloader. The presence of a Document_Open macro and the ClamAV detection strongly suggest the intent is to download and execute a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.Eksn-7566623-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.Eksn-7566623-0
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject call
  • 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.
