MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with multiple high-severity heuristics indicating the presence of VBA macros, including AutoOpen and Auto_Close. The document body, disguised as a conference invitation, likely serves as a lure to trick the user into enabling macros. No scripts were extracted, but the presence of AutoOpen suggests an immediate execution upon opening. The ClamAV detections 'Doc.Trojan.Class-37' and 'Doc.Trojan.Class-1' are included as IOCs.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Class-37 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Class-37
  • 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.
