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

The file is a Microsoft Word document containing a VBA macro, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. ClamAV detections (Doc.Trojan.Flop-2 and Doc.Trojan.Flop-1) indicate a known malicious pattern. The presence of the Document_Open macro suggests the intent is to automatically run malicious code when the document is opened, likely to download and execute a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Flop-2 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Flop-2
  • 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
