MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is identified as malicious due to the presence of a legacy WordBasic macro, specifically the AutoOpen macro, which is a known marker for automatic execution. The macro's content suggests it is a minimal macro-virus, though its exact payload is not discernible from the provided evidence. The file's metadata indicates it was authored with a very old version of Microsoft Word, further supporting the legacy nature of the threat.

Heuristics 2

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Minimal-51 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Minimal-51
  • 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.
