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

The file is an OLE document containing legacy WordBasic macros, indicated by the AUTOOPEN marker and the OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_AUTOEXEC heuristic. The ClamAV detection confirms its malicious nature. The presence of AUTOOPEN suggests the macro executes automatically, likely to download and execute a secondary payload, which is a common tactic for initial compromise via spearphishing attachments.

Heuristics 2

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Macro-11 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Macro-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.
