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

The file is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. ClamAV detected this file as Doc.Trojan.Seliuq-1. The document body does not contain malicious content, suggesting the malicious payload is within the VBA macros. The presence of a Document_Open macro indicates an attempt to automatically execute code upon opening the document, likely to download and execute a second-stage payload or establish persistence.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Seliuq-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Seliuq-1
  • 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
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
