MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information
The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Doc.Trojan.Xaler-1. Static analysis detected the presence of VBA macros, specifically triggering AutoOpen and Document_Open events, indicating an attempt to execute code upon opening the document. The extracted artifact 'macros.bas' suggests obfuscated VBA code was present. The document body, presented as a report on administrative procedures, serves as a lure to encourage macro execution.
