MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is detected as malicious by ClamAV (Doc.Trojan.Thus-10) and contains VBA macros, including a Document_Open macro, indicating it is designed to execute code upon opening. The document body presents a benign cultural festival announcement, a common lure for social engineering. The embedded URLs are likely used for downloading secondary payloads.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Thus-10 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Thus-10
  • 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
