MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample is a legacy Word document containing a WordBasic AutoOpen macro. This macro is designed to execute a script that leverages DEBUG.EXE to run a malicious payload, likely from C:\ZOO.SCR, and potentially modifies the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The ClamAV detection confirms its malicious nature.

Heuristics 2

  • ClamAV: Legacy.Trojan.Agent-459 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Legacy.Trojan.Agent-459
  • 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.
