The sample is an OOXML document containing VBA macros, specifically triggering a Document_Open macro. The presence of a GetObject call and the embedded script suggest the macro is intended to download and execute a second-stage payload. The script content, though partially obfuscated, indicates it attempts to gather system information and potentially execute commands. The confidence is high due to the direct detection of macro execution capabilities.

  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject call
  • 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.
