MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro. ClamAV detections indicate it is a Trojan. The presence of a Document_Open macro suggests an attempt to automatically execute malicious code when the document is opened, likely to download and execute a secondary payload. The extracted artifact name 'macros.bas' and the ClamAV detection 'Doc.Trojan.Sxe-1' further support this assessment.

Heuristics 4

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