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

The file is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a strong indicator of malicious intent. The document body presents a seemingly legitimate registration form for field hockey tryouts, likely serving as a lure to encourage users to enable macros. The presence of the Document_Open macro suggests an attempt to automatically execute malicious code upon opening the document. The ClamAV detection further supports the malicious classification.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Thus-10 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Thus-10
  • 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
