MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with multiple signatures indicating it is a dropper or trojan. The presence of VBA macros (1701 bytes) strongly suggests that these macros are responsible for the malicious behavior, likely downloading and executing a second-stage payload. The ClamAV detections 'Doc.Dropper.Agent-6538852-0' and 'Doc.Trojan.Ethan-1' further support this assessment.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Dropper.Agent-6538852-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Dropper.Agent-6538852-0
  • 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.
