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

The sample is an OLE document containing legacy WordBasic macros, specifically triggering on the `AutoClose` event. This indicates an attempt to execute arbitrary code when the document is closed. The heuristic `OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_AUTOEXEC` confirms the presence of an auto-executing macro. The document body contains text that appears to be a protest or manifesto, but the core functionality relies on the macro execution.

Heuristics 2

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.DMV-5 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.DMV-5
  • Legacy WordBasic auto-exec macro marker medium OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_AUTOEXEC
    OLE Word document contains a legacy WordBasic auto-execution marker such as AutoOpen, but no modern VBA project was recovered and no stronger macro-virus family marker was present. This is analyst-facing evidence for old Word macro execution surface, not a downloader or parser-CVE attribution by itself.
