The sample is a malicious DOC file containing a VBA macro. The Auto_Open macro is present and uses GetObject, indicating an attempt to execute code. The VBA script is heavily obfuscated, making it difficult to determine the exact payload, but it appears to be designed to download and execute a second-stage payload. The obfuscation and execution attempt suggest a downloader or droppper functionality.

Heuristics 5

  • Auto_Open macro high OLE_VBA_AUTO
    Auto_Open 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.
  • 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.
