MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is a Microsoft Word document containing a malicious VBA macro, specifically triggered by the Document_Open event. ClamAV detections indicate it is a trojan. While the document body contains resume-like text, the presence of the Document_Open macro and the ClamAV detections strongly suggest the macro is designed to download and execute a secondary payload, which is a common attack pattern for droppers and trojans.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Marker-40 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Marker-40
  • 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.
