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

The file is a Microsoft Word document containing a large VBA macro, indicated by multiple high-severity heuristics including OLE_VBA_MACROS and OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN. The macro is designed to execute automatically when the document is opened, a common technique for delivering malicious payloads. The ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Marker-17 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Marker-17
  • VBA macros detected medium 2 related findings OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open 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.
