MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample exhibits characteristics of a legacy WordBasic macro virus, specifically the 'TOOLSMACRO' marker and the presence of macro-related keywords like 'AUTOOPEN' and 'ZLOCKMACRO'. The document body also contains references to old printer drivers and file paths, which may be part of the macro's functionality or obfuscation. The primary technique identified is the use of Visual Basic for macro execution.
