MITRE ATT&CK

The sample contains VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open auto-exec macro named 'Alina'. This macro attempts to disable security features and export its own code to '~Alina.Sys' and '~Love.Sys' in the Word startup directory. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Trojan.Alina-3' strongly suggests the Alina family, which is known for macro-based execution of secondary payloads. The presence of auto-exec macros and the export of code to startup locations indicate a downloader or dropper functionality.

Heuristics 7

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Alina-3 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Alina-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.
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC
    Compiled VBA/cache stream contains an auto-execution token together with shell/download/object-execution tokens. This catches p-code-only or source-extraction-failure macro documents where visible source is unavailable.
  • 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
