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

The sample is a legacy Word document containing WordBasic macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro, which is a known indicator of malicious intent. The presence of 'Win.Trojan.Uck-2' detection by ClamAV further supports its malicious nature. The macro's likely purpose is to execute a payload, potentially a downloader, upon opening the document.

Heuristics 2

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Uck-2 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Uck-2
  • 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.
