MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications

The file is detected as malicious by ClamAV with signatures Doc.Trojan.Ded-3 and Doc.Trojan.Ded-2. The presence of VBA macros, indicated by the OLE_VBA_MACROS heuristic, suggests that the document's content, a job advertisement, is a lure to trick the user into enabling macros. This would likely lead to the execution of malicious code, such as a downloader for a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Ded-3 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Ded-3
  • 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.
