MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is detected as malicious by ClamAV with multiple signatures indicating it's a trojanized document. The presence of VBA macros, specifically the use of GetObject, suggests an attempt to download and execute a secondary payload. The macro code appears to be designed to inject itself into other workbooks and potentially establish persistence, although the full extent is obscured by truncation.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Jerk-7 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Jerk-7
  • 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.
  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject call
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
