MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV and contains markers for legacy WordBasic auto-exec macros, specifically 'AutoClose'. Although VBA macros could not be extracted due to an unsupported format, the presence of these markers strongly suggests an attempt to execute malicious code upon document interaction. The file's structure and the legacy macro marker indicate a potential for automated execution of a malicious payload.

Heuristics 3

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Kaffer-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Kaffer-1
  • 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.
  • Unsupported Office format for VBA extraction info OFFICE_FORMAT_UNSUPPORTED
    olevba could not extract VBA macros (AssertionError); format-agnostic byte-level scans still ran. Likely legacy, encrypted, or malformed OLE/OOXML — re-scanning the same bytes will yield the same outcome.
