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

The sample is an OLE document containing legacy WordBasic auto-exec macro markers like 'AutoOpen'. The presence of 'Win.Trojan.Attention-4' detection and the auto-exec marker strongly suggest the document is designed to run malicious code upon opening. The document body contains strings that appear to be related to macro execution and potentially anti-analysis techniques.

Heuristics 2

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Attention-4 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Attention-4
  • 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.
