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

The critical ClamAV detection identifies the sample as Win.Trojan.Hitman-2. The legacy WordBasic macro heuristic firing on 'AutoOpen' indicates that the document will execute malicious code when opened. The document body contains repetitive strings related to 'Macro-virus' and 'Queen Hitman Virus', further supporting the malicious nature and likely intent to download and execute a payload.

    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.
