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

The sample is an OLE file containing legacy WordBasic macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro, which is a strong indicator of malicious intent. The presence of the 'Win.Trojan.Wazzu-26' ClamAV detection further supports this. The AutoOpen macro is likely designed to execute automatically when the document is opened, facilitating the download and execution of a secondary payload.

Heuristics 2

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Wazzu-26 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Wazzu-26
  • 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.
