MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Doc.Trojan.Ethan-20, and an extracted artifact also triggered ClamAV as Doc.Trojan.Ethan-1. The presence of VBA macros, indicated by the OLE_VBA_MACROS heuristic, suggests that the malicious payload is likely delivered via macro execution. The document body contains economic-related questions, which is a common social engineering tactic to trick users into enabling macros. No specific script content was provided for further analysis of the payload delivery mechanism.

Heuristics 4

  • 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
    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.
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • 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.
