MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file contains VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening a document. The document body presents itself as a press release, with embedded URLs that likely lead to further malicious content or downloads. The ClamAV detection of 'Doc.Trojan.Marker-2' further supports the malicious nature of the file.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Marker-2 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Marker-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.
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
