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

The file is a malicious OLE document containing VBA macros, specifically triggering an AutoOpen macro that uses GetObject for execution. The presence of obfuscated VBA code in 'macros.bas' and the ClamAV detection 'Doc.Malware.Obfuse-6903012-0' strongly indicate a malicious intent. The AutoOpen macro likely executes obfuscated VBA code to download and run a second-stage payload, a common technique for initial compromise.

Heuristics 7

  • ClamAV: Doc.Malware.Obfuse-6903012-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Malware.Obfuse-6903012-0
  • 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.
