MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample contains legacy WordBasic macro code, identified by the 'OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_MACRO_VIRUS' heuristic. The macro includes obfuscated elements and a subroutine named 'Payloadddp' which appears to manipulate document text by inserting random words and the specific string 'wazzu'. This suggests an attempt to either mark the document as infected or to execute a secondary payload, though the exact mechanism is unclear due to the legacy nature of the macro.

    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Wazzu-6
  • Legacy WordBasic macro-virus markers high OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_MACRO_VIRUS
    OLE Word document contains legacy WordBasic auto-execution macro markers such as AutoOpen plus ToolsMacro/MacroFile/fileMacro/globMacro or named historical macro-virus strings. These old Word 6/95 macro forms are not exposed as a modern VBA project, so normal VBA source extraction can miss them.
