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

The sample contains legacy WordBasic macro virus markers and a heuristic indicating a lure to execute commands via the clipboard. The macro code appears to be designed to copy itself to global or active templates, suggesting an attempt to establish persistence or spread. The ClamAV detection of 'Win.Trojan.Color-3' further supports the malicious nature of the file.

  • Legacy WordBasic macro-virus markers high OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_MACRO_VIRUS

These old Word 6/95 macro forms are not exposed as a modern VBA project, so normal VBA source extraction can miss them.

    Document tells the user to copy or paste clipboard content into Run, PowerShell, cmd, or another shell-like execution context
