T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample is identified as a legacy WordBasic macro virus, specifically Win.Trojan.Hellgate-1. The document body contains text that mimics legitimate Word functions, likely intended to trick users into enabling or running macros. The presence of 'ToolsMacro' and other macro-related markers strongly suggests the execution of malicious code via WordBasic.

  • 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.
