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

The sample is identified as malicious by ClamAV and contains VBA macros. The 'OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC' heuristic indicates that the AutoOpen macro executes a shell command. This suggests the document is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload, a common tactic for malware distribution. The presence of VBA macros points to a spearphishing attachment as the likely initial access vector.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Maldade-10036492-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Maldade-10036492-0
  • 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 1 related finding OOXML_VBA
    Document contains a VBA project — VBA macros present
  • 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.
  • 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.
