MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample contains a legacy WordBasic auto-exec macro marker ('autoclose') and the document body explicitly states 'This is a Macro Goat File' and 'You MAY be infected already!'. This suggests the document is designed to scare the user into performing an action, potentially related to the macro execution. The presence of 'autoclose' indicates an attempt to automatically run code upon document closing.

Heuristics 2

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.NF-3 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.NF-3
  • 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.
