MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Win.Trojan.Hot-3. Static analysis revealed a legacy WordBasic AutoOpen macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code when a document is opened. The document body contains repetitive text and what appear to be internal markers, but no clear lure or instruction is present.

Heuristics 2

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Hot-3 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Hot-3
  • 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.
