MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is an OLE document with a high-confidence detection for VBA macros, including AutoOpen and Auto_Close functions, indicating malicious intent. ClamAV detections for 'Doc.Trojan.Nottice-3' and 'Win.Trojan.C-286' on an extracted artifact further confirm its malicious nature. The presence of AutoOpen/Auto_Close macros strongly suggests the execution of arbitrary code upon opening or closing the document, likely to download and execute a secondary payload.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Nottice-3 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Nottice-3
  • 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.
