MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample is a legacy Word document containing a WordBasic autoOpen macro. This macro is designed to execute automatically upon opening the document, indicating a malicious intent to run arbitrary code. The presence of the autoOpen marker and the macro itself strongly suggests this is a malicious document, likely a downloader or part of a larger attack chain.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Wazzu-9 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Wazzu-9
  • VBA macros detected medium 1 related finding OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen 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.
