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

The file is a Microsoft Word document with a high-confidence ClamAV detection as Doc.Trojan.WhiteIce-1. Static analysis revealed VBA macros with auto-execution and execution tokens, indicating an attempt to run code upon opening. The presence of a NOP-equivalent sled and heap spray patterns further suggests shellcode execution. The document body itself is a travel itinerary for Shanghai, likely a lure.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.WhiteIce-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.WhiteIce-1
  • Heap-spray pattern detected high SC_HEAP_SPRAY
    Repeated 0x41 (A) bytes found
  • VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC
    Compiled VBA/cache stream contains an auto-execution token together with shell/download/object-execution tokens. This catches p-code-only or source-extraction-failure macro documents where visible source is unavailable.
  • 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.
  • NOP-equivalent sled detected medium SC_NOP_EQUIV_SLED
    Long run of 0x41 bytes
  • VBA project contains no executable statements low OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains a VBA project, but extracted modules only contain attributes/options/comments and no executable statements.
