MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is an OLE document containing legacy WordBasic macro virus markers, specifically 'TOOLSMACRO'. ClamAV detection confirms it as Win.Trojan.Varmint-1. The presence of these markers and the detection strongly indicate a malicious macro-based document, likely designed to execute arbitrary code via the macro.

Heuristics 2

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