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

The critical ClamAV detection and the presence of a legacy WordBasic AUTOOPEN macro indicate malicious intent. The AUTOOPEN macro is a known method for automatically executing malicious code when a document is opened, typically used to download and run further stages of malware. The document body contains obfuscated text and references to legacy WordBasic functions, further supporting this.

Heuristics 2

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