MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with a critical heuristic firing. The presence of a legacy WordBasic AutoOpen macro marker suggests an attempt to automatically execute malicious code upon opening. Although VBA extraction failed, the file's nature as a malicious document points towards a spearphishing attachment attack vector.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Malware.00536d-6705548-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Malware.00536d-6705548-0
  • 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
    The Analyzer could not extract VBA macros: the document may be legacy, encrypted or malformed.
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
