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

The file is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. The ClamAV heuristic 'Doc.Trojan.Thus-8' strongly indicates malicious intent. The document body presents a list of email addresses, likely a social engineering lure to encourage macro execution. No specific malware family could be identified, but the presence of a Document_Open macro suggests it's designed to run malicious code upon opening.

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
