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

The sample is a malicious Office document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro. This macro is designed to execute automatically when the document is opened, indicating an attempt to deliver a payload. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Trojan.Thus-8' further confirms its malicious nature. The VBA code appears to be obfuscated and attempts to ensure persistence or re-infection.

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
