MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1505.003 Server Software Component: Web Shell

The sample contains VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. The macro code appears to be designed to inject itself into other documents or templates. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Trojan.Alive-1' further supports its malicious nature. The script's intent is to spread its malicious VBA code to other documents and templates, potentially as part of a larger infection chain.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Alive-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Alive-1
  • 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
