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

The sample is a legacy Word document containing VBA macros, including AutoClose and Document_Open, which are commonly used for malicious purposes. The macros attempt to disable virus protection and inject code, indicated by the presence of 'MYNAMEISVIRUS' and the attempt to insert lines from the Autoexec macro. This behavior strongly suggests a downloader or droppper functionality, aiming to fetch and execute further malicious content.

Heuristics 5

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Myna-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Myna-1
  • VBA macros detected medium 2 related findings OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • Auto_Close macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOCLOSE
    Auto_Close macro
  • 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.
