MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample contains VBA macros that attempt to write their own code to a file named 'c:\Win386.msw'. It also tries to embed its macro code into the Normal template or the active document, potentially for persistence or to spread. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Trojan.Ethan-20' further supports its malicious nature.

Heuristics 2

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Ethan-20 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Ethan-20
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
