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

The sample contains VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a strong indicator of malicious intent. The macro code attempts to export itself to a file named 'no32close.sys' in the system directory, suggesting it's designed to download and execute a second-stage payload. The ClamAV detections further confirm its malicious nature.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Closer-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Closer-1
  • 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
