MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample is identified as a legacy WordBasic macro virus by heuristics, specifically noting the 'TOOLSMACRO' marker. ClamAV also detects it as Win.Trojan.Box-7. The presence of legacy macro functions like AUTOOPEN and AUTOCLOSE strongly indicates malicious intent, likely to execute arbitrary code upon opening the document.

    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Box-7
  • Legacy WordBasic macro-virus markers high OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_MACRO_VIRUS
    OLE Word document contains legacy WordBasic auto-execution macro markers such as AutoOpen plus ToolsMacro/MacroFile/fileMacro/globMacro or named historical macro-virus strings. These old Word 6/95 macro forms are not exposed as a modern VBA project, so normal VBA source extraction can miss them.
