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

The sample is an OLE document containing VBA macros, specifically triggering on the Document_Open event. Heuristics indicate the presence of malicious macros and ClamAV detection confirms this, identifying it as 'Doc.Trojan.Thus-8'. The macro code appears to be designed to copy itself to the Normal template and other open documents, a common persistence or propagation technique. The truncated script suggests it may attempt to download further content.

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.
