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

The sample is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. The VBA code appears to be obfuscated but is designed to run automatically when the document is opened. The ClamAV detection of 'Doc.Trojan.Antisocial-4' strongly suggests malicious intent, likely involving the execution of further malicious payloads.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Antisocial-4 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Antisocial-4
  • 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.
  • OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALY
    OLE file is 50,688 bytes but its declared streams total only 29,209 bytes — 21,479 bytes (42%) live in unallocated sector slack. This is the canonical hiding place for pre-macro-era Office exploit payloads (XOR-encoded shellcode reached via a parser pointer-corruption bug in the document structure).
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
