MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is a Microsoft Word document containing a Document_Open VBA macro, identified by ClamAV as Doc.Trojan.Story-1. The macro source code is obfuscated, but its presence and the critical ClamAV detection strongly indicate malicious intent. The macro is likely responsible for executing a secondary payload, as suggested by the 'VBA Chr string obfuscation' heuristic.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Story-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Story-1
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • Suspicious extracted artifact high EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Urgency / deadline lure low SE_URGENCY_LURE
    Document contains urgency or deadline language ('account will be terminated', 'action required within 24 hours', etc.) — useful context, but low-signal without other findings
  • 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.
