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

The sample contains VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening a document. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Trojan.Thus-8' strongly indicates malicious intent. The macro code appears to be designed to ensure its persistence and execution, likely to download and execute a secondary payload, although the full execution chain is truncated.

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.
