MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample is an OLE file containing legacy WordBasic macros, indicated by the AutoOpen macro marker and the OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_AUTOEXEC heuristic. The ClamAV detection as Win.Trojan.Hunter-2 further confirms its malicious nature. The presence of AutoOpen suggests an attempt to automatically execute code when the document is opened, a common technique for delivering secondary payloads.

Heuristics 2

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Hunter-2 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Hunter-2
  • 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.
