MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample exhibits characteristics of a legacy WordBasic macro virus, specifically referencing 'ToolsMacro' and 'AutoOpen' functions, which are indicative of malicious macro execution. The presence of 'MCRYPT.DOC' and functions like 'FileSaveAs' suggest the macro may be designed to save or manipulate the document content, potentially as part of a payload delivery or obfuscation strategy. The ClamAV detection as Win.Trojan.Milicrypt-1 further supports its malicious nature.

Heuristics 2

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Milicrypt-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Milicrypt-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.
