MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information

The file is a malicious Office document containing VBA macros. The presence of an AutoOpen macro and CreateObject calls, along with ClamAV detection as 'Doc.Dropper.Agent-5561180-0', strongly indicates a dropper or downloader functionality. The VBA code is obfuscated, making it difficult to determine the exact payload, but the overall pattern suggests it's designed to execute further malicious actions upon opening.

Heuristics 7

  • ClamAV: Doc.Dropper.Agent-5561180-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Dropper.Agent-5561180-0
  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen 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.
  • 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
