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

The sample is an OLE document containing legacy WordBasic auto-execution markers, specifically 'AutoOpen'. This heuristic, combined with the ClamAV detection of 'Legacy.Trojan.Agent-442', strongly suggests the document is designed to run malicious macros. The presence of 'AutoOpen' indicates an attempt to execute code automatically when the document is opened, a common technique for delivering secondary payloads.

Heuristics 2

  • ClamAV: Legacy.Trojan.Agent-442 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Legacy.Trojan.Agent-442
  • 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.
