MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample is an OLE document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. The document body presents itself as a confidential business communication, a common lure to trick users into enabling macros. ClamAV detections (Doc.Trojan.Thus-8) on both the main file and an extracted artifact indicate a known malicious pattern. The embedded URLs likely serve as indicators for the download of further malicious content.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Thus-8 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Thus-8
  • 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.
