MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature 'Doc.Trojan.Thus-4'. A 'Document_Open' VBA macro was detected, suggesting it executes automatically upon opening. The presence of embedded URLs, although mostly benign, includes one potentially suspicious URL that could be used for further malicious activity. The document body itself appears to be a resume, which is likely a lure.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Thus-4 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Thus-4
  • 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
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
