MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample exhibits legacy WordBasic macro virus markers, specifically 'ToolsMacro', and is flagged by ClamAV as Win.Trojan.Paper-1. The presence of these indicators strongly suggests the file is a malicious document intended to execute embedded macros. The document body contains references to macro execution functions like AutoOpen, AutoExec, and ToolsMacro, further supporting this assessment.

Heuristics 2

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