MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is an OOXML document containing VBA macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code automatically. The presence of GetObject calls and obfuscated VBA strings further indicates malicious intent. ClamAV detection as 'Doc.Dropper.Agent-7729707-0' strongly suggests this document is a dropper for other malware. No specific IOCs like URLs or hashes were extracted from the document body or scripts.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Doc.Dropper.Agent-7729707-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Dropper.Agent-7729707-0
  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject call
  • 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.
