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

The file is a malicious OOXML document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro that utilizes GetObject. ClamAV signatures identify it as 'Doc.Downloader.Chartres-7571094-0', indicating its function as a downloader. The presence of the Document_Open macro and the downloader signature strongly suggests the document's purpose is to fetch and execute a secondary malicious payload.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.Chartres-7571094-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.Chartres-7571094-0
  • 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.
