MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The file contains VBA macros, including a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. The critical heuristic 'OLE_VBA_SHELL' indicates the use of the Shell() function, likely to download and execute a secondary payload. ClamAV detections for 'Win.Trojan.KillCMOS-13' and 'Win.Trojan.wmvg-1' on an extracted artifact further confirm its malicious nature. The document body appears to be heavily corrupted or obfuscated, providing no clear user-facing lure.

Heuristics 7

  • Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Shell() call in VBA
  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.KillCMOS-13 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.KillCMOS-13
  • 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
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • 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

Extracted artifacts 1
