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, which is a common technique for initial execution. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Trojan.Walker-6' further confirms its malicious nature. The VBA script appears to be obfuscated and attempts to decrypt and execute further code, likely a secondary payload, though the exact download URL or execution method is not directly discernible from the provided script excerpt.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Walker-6 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
