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

The file is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, as indicated by the OLE_VBA_MACROS heuristic. The presence of a Document_Open macro (OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN) suggests that the malicious code executes automatically upon opening the document. ClamAV detections (Doc.Trojan.Locale-1) confirm its malicious nature. The macros are likely intended to download and execute a secondary payload, a common technique for initial access and further system compromise.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Locale-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Locale-1
  • 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
