MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file contains a VBA macro, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a strong indicator of malicious intent. The macro is likely responsible for downloading and executing a secondary payload from one of the embedded URLs. The ClamAV detection further supports the malicious classification. The document body itself appears to be unrelated promotional text for a DJ, suggesting it's a lure.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Thus-8 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Thus-8
  • 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.
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
