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

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature 'Doc.Trojan.IIS-4'. A critical heuristic indicates VBA p-code auto-execution with shell execution tokens within the Document_Open macro, suggesting an attempt to run arbitrary code upon opening. Although VBA macros could not be fully extracted due to an unsupported Office format, the heuristic strongly implies malicious intent. The document body appears to be malformed or corrupted, providing no readable content to infer the lure.

Heuristics 3

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.IIS-4 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.IIS-4
  • VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC
    Compiled VBA/cache stream contains an auto-execution token together with shell/download/object-execution tokens. This catches p-code-only or source-extraction-failure macro documents where visible source is unavailable.
  • Unsupported Office format for VBA extraction info OFFICE_FORMAT_UNSUPPORTED
    olevba could not extract VBA macros (IndexError); format-agnostic byte-level scans still ran. Likely legacy, encrypted, or malformed OLE/OOXML — re-scanning the same bytes will yield the same outcome.
