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

The file contains heavily obfuscated VBA macros designed to execute automatically upon opening, indicated by multiple critical heuristic firings including 'Obfuscated auto-exec VBA loader' and 'VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens'. The macro uses CreateObject and CallByName, common techniques for launching malicious code. While the exact payload is not directly visible, the presence of an embedded URL suggests it's a downloader for a second-stage exploit or malware. The ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature.

Heuristics 8

  • ClamAV: Doc.Malware.Valyria-6749505-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Malware.Valyria-6749505-0
  • VBA macros detected medium 5 related findings OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Obfuscated auto-exec VBA loader critical OLE_VBA_OBFUSCATED_AUTOEXEC_LOADER
    Auto-exec VBA reconstructs strings with a heavy custom decoder (numeric char-array, repeated hex-string decode, or junk-token Replace removal) and feeds them to a COM-instantiation or execution sink. This obfuscated-loader shape keeps CreateObject/Shell/URL indicators out of the macro source.
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • CallByName call high OLE_VBA_CALLBYNAME
    CallByName 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.
  • 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.
