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

The file is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, specifically triggering AutoOpen and Auto_Close events. ClamAV detections indicate it is a known trojan. The presence of macros suggests an attempt to download and execute a secondary payload, a common tactic for malware delivery. No specific family could be identified from the available heuristics.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Class-37 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Class-37
  • 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.
