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

The sample is a malicious Office document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. The document body presents itself as a press release with embedded hyperlinks to external websites. The VBA macro code, while partially truncated, appears to manipulate document properties and potentially interact with the system, indicating an attempt to download or execute further malicious content. The presence of multiple unknown-reputation URLs suggests a phishing or malware distribution attempt.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Marker-2 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Marker-2
  • 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.
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
