MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file contains VBA macros and presents itself as a financial offer for a $10,000 loan, which is a typical phishing lure. The embedded URLs are associated with a 'remove-list' service, likely a distraction or part of the scam infrastructure. The presence of VBA macros suggests the potential for malicious code execution, although the specific actions are not detailed in the provided evidence.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Pivis-2 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Pivis-2
  • 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.
  • 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.
    URL http://remove-list.com
    • http://remove-list.comRemove-List
