MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample is a legacy Word document containing WordBasic macros. The 'AutoOpen' macro marker indicates that malicious code will execute automatically when the document is opened. This is a common technique for initial execution of malware. The ClamAV detection of 'Win.Trojan.Breaktime-1' further confirms its malicious nature.

Heuristics 2

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