MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros. Heuristic analysis indicates the presence of these macros and also flags an extracted artifact with a ClamAV signature 'Win.Trojan.C-286'. The VBA macros are likely responsible for downloading and executing a secondary payload, contributing to the malicious nature of the file.

Heuristics 2

  • 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.
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code

Extracted artifacts 1
