MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro, which is a common delivery mechanism for malware. The macro attempts to display messages to the user, including one suggesting the file might be infected. While the script is truncated, the presence of AutoOpen and the ClamAV detection (Doc.Trojan.Allen-2) strongly indicate malicious intent, likely to deceive the user or initiate further malicious actions.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Allen-2 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Allen-2
  • 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.
  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
