MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample is identified as a legacy WordBasic macro-virus by heuristics, specifically noting 'ToolsMacro' which is indicative of macro execution. The document body, while appearing as a tribute, contains embedded macro names like 'AutoOpen' and 'ToolsMacro', suggesting that enabling macros would trigger malicious behavior. The ClamAV detection 'Win.Trojan.Tribute-1' further supports its malicious nature, though the specific payload or family is not discernible from the provided evidence.

    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Tribute-1
  • 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.
