MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.003 Windows Command Shell

The sample is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros. Heuristics indicate the presence of a Shell() call within the VBA code, and static triage flags this as suspicious behavior. ClamAV detections further confirm its malicious nature. The extracted 'macros.bas' file likely contains the malicious VBA code responsible for executing shell commands, potentially to download and execute a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 5

  • Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Shell() call in VBA
  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Marker-31 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Marker-31
  • 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.
  • Suspicious extracted artifact high EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
