MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with multiple signatures, indicating it's a known trojan. The presence of a Document_Open macro and VBA macros suggests an attempt to execute malicious code upon opening. The document body is disguised as a programming worksheet, a common social engineering tactic to trick users into enabling macros. The VBA macros are likely responsible for downloading and executing a secondary payload, though the specific mechanism is not detailed in the provided heuristics.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Marker-40 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Marker-40
  • 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
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
