MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample is an OLE document containing legacy WordBasic macros, indicated by the 'OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_AUTOEXEC' heuristic firing on the 'AutoOpen' macro. This macro is designed to execute automatically when the document is opened, a common technique for initiating malicious actions. ClamAV also detected this file as Win.Trojan.Minimal-55, further supporting its malicious nature.

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Minimal-55 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Minimal-55
  • 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.
