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

The file is an OLE document containing legacy WordBasic macro markers, specifically 'AutoOpen', which is a known auto-execution routine. The ClamAV heuristic identifies it as Win.Trojan.Cheat-2, indicating a malicious intent. The macro likely attempts to download and execute a secondary payload, a common tactic for initial compromise.

Heuristics 2

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