MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Doc.Trojan.CyberHack-1. Static analysis revealed the presence of VBA macros, including an AutoOpen macro, which is a typical method for executing malicious code upon opening the document. No specific malware family could be confidently identified, but the technique suggests a macro-based downloader or dropper.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.CyberHack-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.CyberHack-1
  • 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.
  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen 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.
