MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, as indicated by the OLE_VBA_MACROS and OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN heuristics. The presence of a 'macros.bas' file and the ClamAV detection (Doc.Trojan.Thus-8) strongly suggest malicious intent. The Document_Open macro is likely responsible for executing the malicious code, which could involve downloading a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Thus-8 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Thus-8
  • 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.
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
