The sample is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro that executes code using CreateObject. This indicates the document is designed to run malicious code upon opening. The presence of an AutoOpen macro and the execution of code via CreateObject strongly suggest a macro-based malware delivery mechanism. The document body, presented as a supply agreement, serves as a lure to trick the user into enabling macros.

Heuristics 3

  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
  • 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.
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
