MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature 'Doc.Trojan.WhiteIce-1'. Static analysis revealed a VBA project with no executable statements, but a critical heuristic 'OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC' indicates auto-execution of VBA p-code with execution tokens, specifically 'document_open' and 'Shell'. This suggests the VBA code, despite appearing empty, likely contains obfuscated logic to execute commands. The heap spray pattern further indicates potential exploitation or memory manipulation techniques.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.WhiteIce-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.WhiteIce-1
  • Heap-spray pattern detected high SC_HEAP_SPRAY
    Repeated 0x41 (A) bytes found
  • 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 project contains no executable statements low OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains a VBA project, but extracted modules only contain attributes/options/comments and no executable statements.

Extracted artifacts 1
