MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, specifically triggering AutoOpen and Auto_Close functions. Heuristics indicate the presence of macros and an embedded artifact detected by ClamAV as 'Doc.Trojan.Aleja-1'. The document body is largely narrative and does not directly contribute to the attack pattern, but the presence of these macros strongly suggests an attempt to execute malicious code upon opening or closing the document.

Heuristics 4

  • 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.
