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

The file is an OLE document containing legacy WordBasic auto-execution markers like 'AutoOpen'. This indicates an attempt to run embedded macros when the document is opened. The ClamAV heuristic further confirms its malicious nature, classifying it as Win.Tool.WM-11. The presence of 'AutoOpen' suggests the macro is designed to execute automatically, likely to download and execute a secondary payload.

Heuristics 2

  • ClamAV: Win.Tool.WM-11 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Tool.WM-11
  • 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.
