MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Win.Trojan.Macro-11. Static analysis reveals suspicious findings related to the OLE structure, including empty streams and directory cycles, indicating potential obfuscation or corruption. The presence of 'AUTOOPEN' and references to 'WinJet' within the document body suggest the execution of a macro upon opening.

Heuristics 4

  • Embedded Office document has suspicious static findings critical EMBEDDED_OFFICE_CHILD_STATIC_TRIAGE
    A CFB/OLE Office document was found inside another file type and its carved contents matched Office exploit or payload heuristics. This catches wrapped exploit documents where the top-level file routes to a PE, archive, or generic scanner instead of Office.
  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Macro-11 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Macro-11
  • 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.
  • CFB header with no readable streams medium OLE_PARSE_EMPTY_STREAMS
    The file begins with a valid OLE2/CFB header but exposes no directory streams. A non-empty compound document with an unreadable directory is anomalous — it is seen with truncated/corrupt files and, more importantly, with content deliberately shifted off byte boundaries to defeat parsers while the host application still recovers the object.
