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

The sample is a legacy Word document containing a WordBasic AutoOpen macro, indicated by the OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_AUTOEXEC heuristic. This macro likely executes malicious code when the document is opened, a common technique for initial access via spearphishing attachments. The ClamAV detection as Win.Trojan.Lord-1 further supports its malicious nature.

Heuristics 2

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