MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file contains a legacy WordBasic macro named 'aUtOOpen' which is a known marker for auto-execution. This macro is likely intended to run malicious code when the document is opened, a common technique for initial execution. The ClamAV detection 'Win.Trojan.Minimal-31' further supports its malicious nature.

Heuristics 2

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Minimal-31 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Minimal-31
  • 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.
