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

The file is an Excel spreadsheet containing malicious VBA macros. The macros attempt to obfuscate their code and use GetObject to potentially download and execute a second-stage payload. ClamAV detections further confirm the malicious nature of the file, identifying it as Doc.Trojan.Jerk-7 and Doc.Trojan.Jerk-5.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Jerk-7 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Jerk-7
  • 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.
