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

The sample is a malicious Word document containing VBA macros. The 'Document_Open' macro attempts to disable macro security and clear existing VBA code from the document and NormalTemplate. It also attempts to create and then delete a file at 'c:\cont.dbl'. The ClamAV detections 'Win.Trojan.Pivis-2' and 'Doc.Trojan.Akuma-2' suggest a known malware family, but specific attribution is not possible from 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.
