MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample is an Office document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. The document body presents itself as educational material, a common lure to trick users into enabling macros. The presence of ClamAV detections (Doc.Trojan.Marker-40 and Doc.Trojan.Marker-2) indicates known malicious behavior, likely involving the execution of a second-stage payload. No specific IOCs like URLs or hashes were extracted from the document body or scripts.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Marker-40 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Marker-40
  • 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.
