Win.Trojan.Query-3 · confidence 95%

MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample exhibits legacy WordBasic macro virus markers, specifically related to 'ToolsMacro' and 'AutoOpen' routines. The document body explicitly describes the macro's functionality: turning off screen updating, editing and copying its own code, and pasting it into the document and global template to evade generic scans, before executing a payload. This indicates a self-replicating macro virus.

  • Legacy WordBasic macro-virus markers high OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_MACRO_VIRUS
    OLE Word document contains legacy WordBasic auto-execution macro markers such as AutoOpen plus ToolsMacro/MacroFile/fileMacro/globMacro or named historical macro-virus strings. These old Word 6/95 macro forms are not exposed as a modern VBA project, so normal VBA source extraction can miss them.
