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

The file is an OLE document containing legacy WordBasic auto-exec macros, specifically an AUTOOPEN macro. This indicates an attempt to automatically execute malicious code when the document is opened. The ClamAV detection as Win.Trojan.Ammy-1 further supports its malicious nature. The presence of an AUTOOPEN macro suggests it's likely delivered as a spearphishing attachment.

Heuristics 2

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Ammy-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Ammy-1
  • 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.
