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

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV and contains VBA macros. A critical heuristic indicates the presence of a Shell() call within the VBA code, suggesting an attempt to execute external commands. This is further supported by the detection of suspicious extracted artifacts, specifically 'macros.bas', which likely contains the malicious VBA code. The primary intent appears to be the execution of a second-stage payload via shell commands.

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

Extracted artifacts 1
