MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.005 Visual Basic

The document contains VBA macros, indicated by the OOXML_VBA heuristic, and references a LOLBin, suggesting malicious code execution. The DOC BODY text presents a fake invoice, aligning with the SE_INVOICE_LURE heuristic. The presence of VBA macros and the invoice lure strongly suggest a phishing attempt designed to execute malicious code. No specific family could be identified.

Heuristics 5

  • LOLBin reference in VBA critical OLE_VBA_LOLBIN
    LOLBin reference in VBA
  • 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
  • Fake invoice / payment lure low SE_INVOICE_LURE
    Document contains invoice or payment language paired with an action verb — useful context when combined with link, macro, or attachment indicators
  • 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.
