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

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Legacy.Trojan.Agent-453. A legacy WordBasic auto-exec macro marker (AutoOpen) was detected, indicating the document is designed to run malicious code upon opening. The document body contains metadata-like fields and a comment mentioning infection by 'Macro.Word.X91 by FRiZER', suggesting a macro-based threat. The presence of the AutoOpen macro strongly implies an attempt to execute arbitrary code, likely for downloading further stages.

Heuristics 2

  • ClamAV: Legacy.Trojan.Agent-453 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Legacy.Trojan.Agent-453
  • 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.
