MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for initiating malicious activity upon opening the file. The document body presents a non-circumvention and non-disclosure agreement, a common lure to trick users into enabling macros. The presence of ClamAV detections (Doc.Trojan.Thus-8) further confirms its malicious nature. The primary attack vector appears to be macro execution to download and run a secondary payload.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Thus-8 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Thus-8
  • 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.
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
