The critical heuristic 'OLE_VBA_USERFORM_HIDDEN_COMMAND_STAGER' indicates the presence of a hidden UserForm designed to execute commands. This is further supported by the 'OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC' heuristic, which points to an auto-executing macro. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Malware.Lemodldr-9238796-0' strongly suggests the Lemodldr family. The primary attack pattern involves leveraging VBA macros to initiate a command stager, likely for downloading and executing additional malicious content.

Heuristics 8

  • VBA UserForm hidden-property command stager critical OLE_VBA_USERFORM_HIDDEN_COMMAND_STAGER
    VBA auto-exec macro creates a COM object from a decoded variable and reconstructs command text through Split/Join and hidden UserForm properties such as ControlTipText, Tag, Pages, or HelpContextId. This is a high-confidence macro downloader/loader shape seen in the reviewed OLE set, but it is not an Office CVE exploit primitive.
  • ClamAV: Doc.Malware.Lemodldr-9238796-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Malware.Lemodldr-9238796-0
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject 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.
