MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample exhibits characteristics of a legacy macro virus, specifically identified by 'RSN MACRO VIRUS' markers and embedded text referencing 'Goat file' and 'WordBasic macro-virus'. The presence of AutoOpen and AutoClose functions, common in older macro malware, suggests an intent to execute code upon document opening or closing. While no specific malicious payload is evident, the structure and embedded text strongly indicate a self-replicating or potentially harmful macro.

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Gnomo-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Gnomo-1
  • 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.
