MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature 'Doc.Trojan.Thus-10'. The presence of AutoOpen, Document_Open, and Auto_Close VBA macros strongly suggests that the document is designed to execute malicious code upon opening or closing. While the document body contains seemingly benign text about concerts and sales, the heuristic firings and ClamAV detection point to a malicious macro-based document.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Thus-10 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

  • 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.
