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

The file contains a legacy WordBasic AutoOpen macro, a common indicator of malicious documents. The macro is heavily obfuscated, making it difficult to determine the exact payload, but the presence of the AutoOpen macro and the ClamAV detection strongly suggest it's designed to download and execute a second-stage payload. The obfuscated nature of the script and the lack of clear indicators for a specific family lead to a lower confidence score.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Doc.Malware.Generic-6688043-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Malware.Generic-6688043-0
  • 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.
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
