MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
T1059.005 Visual Basic
The sample is a legacy WordBasic macro virus from 1997, designed to infect documents automatically upon opening and disable macro protection. It explicitly details its infection mechanisms, including disabling macro protection via the 'Tools Options' function and infecting documents via 'AutoOpen' and 'FileSaveAs' macros. The embedded URL and email address are likely related to its distribution or command and control.
Heuristics 8
-
ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Master-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Master-1
-
Embedded Office document has suspicious static findings critical EMBEDDED_OFFICE_CHILD_STATIC_TRIAGEA 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.
-
Legacy WordBasic macro-virus markers high OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_MACRO_VIRUSOLE 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.
-
OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALYThis finding applies to a carved embedded Office document found at a nonzero offset inside the submitted file, not directly to the top-level document. OLE file is 21,819 bytes but its declared streams total only 0 bytes — 21,819 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).
-
Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LUREDocument instructs the user to enable macros or editing — a common technique used by malware droppers to bypass Office macro security settings
-
CFB header with no readable streams medium OLE_PARSE_EMPTY_STREAMSThis finding applies to a carved embedded Office document found at a nonzero offset inside the submitted file, not directly to the top-level document. 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.
-
Recovered legacy WordBasic macro source info OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_MACRO_SOURCEThe Word 6.0/95 document stores tokenised WordBasic macros in the WordDocument stream rather than as a modern VBA project, so VBA source extraction cannot see them. The macro source was detokenised and carved so its identifiers, string literals (file paths, URLs, registry keys, message text) and comments are available for review and signature scanning.
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.URL http://???.????.??/?????/??????/(E-mail In document text (OLE body)
