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

The file is an OLE document containing legacy WordBasic auto-execution markers, specifically 'AutoOpen'. This indicates an attempt to run malicious code when the document is opened. The ClamAV detection as 'Win.Trojan.Phantom-6' further supports its malicious nature. The presence of auto-exec macros suggests a downloader or dropper functionality, likely delivered via spearphishing.

Heuristics 2

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Phantom-6 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Phantom-6
  • 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.
