MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample is a legacy Word document containing a WordBasic auto-exec macro named 'aUToOpen'. This macro is designed to run automatically when the document is opened, indicating a likely attempt to execute malicious code. The presence of the 'CLAMAV_DETECTION' heuristic further confirms its malicious nature.

Heuristics 2

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.MinSize-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.MinSize-1
  • 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.
