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

The sample contains legacy WordBasic macros, specifically an AutoExec marker for FileSaveAs, indicating an attempt to execute malicious code upon opening. The document body explicitly states 'This is a Macro Goat File. You MAY be infected already!', reinforcing the malicious intent. The presence of legacy macro functionality suggests a potential attempt to trick the user into saving a malicious copy of the document.

Heuristics 2

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.SaveCount-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.SaveCount-1
  • 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.
