MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications

The file is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. The document body presents a benign book report form, likely as a lure to trick the user into enabling macros. The presence of VBA macros and the Document_Open execution trigger strongly suggest a macro-based malware delivery mechanism. No specific family could be identified, and no external IOCs were extracted.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Thus-10 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Thus-10
  • 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.
