The file is a Microsoft Word document containing what appears to be a medical report. Heuristics indicate the presence of VBA macros and a critical finding of a Shell() call within the VBA code. ClamAV detections further confirm its malicious nature. The presence of VBA macros and the Shell() call suggests the document is designed to execute arbitrary commands upon macro enablement, likely to download and run a secondary payload. The specific medical report content serves as a pretext to encourage macro execution.

Heuristics 5

  • Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Shell() call in VBA
  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Marker-31 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Marker-31
  • 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.
  • Suspicious extracted artifact high EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code

Extracted artifacts 1
