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

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Doc.Trojan.Phardera-1. The presence of a legacy WordBasic auto-exec macro marker (FileOpen) indicates that the document is designed to automatically execute code upon opening. This macro likely attempts to exploit vulnerabilities or download additional payloads, consistent with the Phardera family's known behavior.

Heuristics 2

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Phardera-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Phardera-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.
