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

The file contains VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a strong indicator of malicious intent. The document body presents a professional portfolio, a common lure to trick users into enabling macros. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Trojan.Thus-7' further confirms its malicious nature. The embedded URLs are likely used for downloading additional malicious content.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Thus-7 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Thus-7
  • 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
  • Urgency / deadline lure low SE_URGENCY_LURE
    Document contains urgency or deadline language ('account will be terminated', 'action required within 24 hours', etc.) — useful context, but low-signal without other findings
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
