MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample exhibits legacy WordBasic macro virus markers, specifically related to 'ToolsMacro'. The document body contains numerous calls to macro functions like 'autoopen', 'FileSaveAs', and 'ToolsMacro', indicating an attempt to execute embedded macro code. This suggests the file is designed to download and execute a secondary payload, characteristic of older macro-based malware.

    OLE Word document contains legacy WordBasic auto-execution macro markers such as AutoOpen plus ToolsMacro/MacroFile/fileMacro/globMacro or named historical macro-virus strings. These old Word 6/95 macro forms are not exposed as a modern VBA project, so normal VBA source extraction can miss them.
