MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1546.001 Event Triggered Execution: Sign of the Times

The sample is an Office document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Trojan.Thus-8' strongly indicates malicious intent. The VBA code attempts to disable virus protection and copy itself to the Normal template, suggesting an effort to establish persistence and ensure execution.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Thus-8 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Thus-8
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
