MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample is a Microsoft Word document containing a VBA macro that executes automatically via the Document_Open subroutine. The macro's logic appears to be designed to ensure its own persistence across documents and potentially download additional payloads, as indicated by the ClamAV detection 'Doc.Trojan.Thus-8'. The document body content is unrelated to the malicious functionality.

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.
