MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The presence of legacy WordBasic auto-exec markers like 'AutoOpen' and critical heuristics related to embedded OLE objects strongly indicate malicious intent. ClamAV detections confirm this, identifying the sample as Win.Trojan.Silvina-1. The embedded OLE object is the primary indicator of a potential secondary payload or exploit.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Silvina-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Silvina-1
  • Embedded Office document has suspicious static findings critical EMBEDDED_OFFICE_CHILD_STATIC_TRIAGE
    A CFB/OLE Office document was found inside another file type and its carved contents matched Office exploit or payload heuristics. This catches wrapped exploit documents where the top-level file routes to a PE, archive, or generic scanner instead of Office.
  • OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALY
    OLE file is 19,438 bytes but its declared streams total only 0 bytes — 19,438 bytes (100%) live in unallocated sector slack. This is the canonical hiding place for pre-macro-era Office exploit payloads (XOR-encoded shellcode reached via a parser pointer-corruption bug in the document structure).
  • 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.
  • CFB header with no readable streams medium OLE_PARSE_EMPTY_STREAMS
    The file begins with a valid OLE2/CFB header but exposes no directory streams. A non-empty compound document with an unreadable directory is anomalous — it is seen with truncated/corrupt files and, more importantly, with content deliberately shifted off byte boundaries to defeat parsers while the host application still recovers the object.
