MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File T1071.001 Web Protocols

The sample contains a VBA macro with an AutoOpen function, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon document opening. The heuristic firing for URLDownloadToFile indicates that the macro attempts to download a payload from a remote source. The ClamAV detection as 'Doc.Downloader.GreenBox5-9139204-0' further supports its role as a downloader. The document body was truncated and did not provide specific lures, but the presence of VBA macros and the download functionality strongly suggest a malicious downloader.

Heuristics 6

  • URLDownloadToFile in VBA critical OLE_VBA_DOWNLOAD
    URLDownloadToFile in VBA
  • ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.GreenBox5-9139204-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.GreenBox5-9139204-0
  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
  • 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 project inside OOXML medium OOXML_VBA
    Document contains vbaProject.bin — VBA macros present
  • 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.
