MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell

The file contains VBA macros, and a critical heuristic indicates the use of the Shell() function, suggesting an attempt to execute arbitrary commands. The presence of 'macros.bas' and ClamAV detections like 'Doc.Trojan.Marker-31' further confirm malicious intent. The primary goal appears to be downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as indicated by the Shell() call and the suspicious extracted artifact.

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
