MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.005 Visual Basic

The presence of a 'Document_Open' VBA macro, coupled with ClamAV detections of 'Doc.Trojan.Panther-2' on both the main file and an extracted artifact, strongly suggests malicious intent. The macro is likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload. The embedded URL 'http://WWW.EDWARD-EDWARDS.COM' may be related to the command and control infrastructure or the distribution of the payload.

Heuristics 5

ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Panther-2 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Panther-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

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.

URL http://WWW.EDWARD-EDWARDS.COM

Extracted artifacts 1

Files carved from inside the sample during analysis.
