MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is an OLE document containing VBA macros. Heuristics indicate the presence of a Shell() call within the VBA code, suggesting an attempt to execute external commands. ClamAV detections of 'Doc.Trojan.Marker-31' and 'Doc.Trojan.Marker-1' on the main file and an extracted artifact further confirm its malicious nature. The primary function appears to be the execution of a secondary payload via the Shell() command.

Heuristics 5

  • Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Shell() call in VBA
  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Marker-31 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Marker-31
  • 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.
  • Suspicious extracted artifact high EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code

Extracted artifacts 1
