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

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with critical heuristics firing for OLE VBA macros and a Document_Open macro. The VBA macro code, though truncated, indicates it attempts to manipulate document properties and potentially execute further actions. The presence of a Document_Open macro strongly suggests an attempt to execute malicious code upon opening the document, characteristic of a phishing attachment.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Marker-40 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Marker-40
  • 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
