MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is a malicious DOC document containing obfuscated VBA macros, as indicated by multiple high and critical heuristic firings including ClamAV detection and VBA p-code auto-execution. The presence of an AutoOpen macro and GetObject calls suggests the macros are designed to execute automatically upon opening. The 'macros.bas' file is identified as a suspicious artifact. The document body is heavily obfuscated and unreadable, providing no direct clues to the lure.

Heuristics 7

  • ClamAV: Doc.Malware.Obfuse-6895490-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Malware.Obfuse-6895490-0
  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject call
  • VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC
    Compiled VBA/cache stream contains an auto-execution token together with shell/download/object-execution tokens. This catches p-code-only or source-extraction-failure macro documents where visible source is unavailable.
  • 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.
