MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample contains VBA macros that are designed to write their own code to a file named 'c:\ethan.___' on the local filesystem. This file is then likely executed to download and run a second-stage payload. The ClamAV detection of 'Doc.Trojan.Ethan-20' further supports the malicious nature of this file.

Heuristics 3

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Ethan-20 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Ethan-20
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV

  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
