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

The sample is a legacy Word document containing a WordBasic macro named 'AutoOpen', which is designed to execute automatically when the document is opened. This macro is indicative of a phishing attachment designed to deliver a malicious payload. The ClamAV detection of Win.Trojan.Alliance-11 further supports the malicious nature of the file.

Heuristics 2

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Alliance-11 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Alliance-11
  • 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.
