Malware Insights

MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV and contains a legacy WordBasic macro marker 'AutoOpen'. This suggests the document is designed to automatically execute malicious code when opened, a common technique for older malware. The extensive, seemingly random color and registry path data within the document body is likely obfuscation or junk data associated with the macro's execution.

Heuristics 2

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Irish-2 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Irish-2
  • 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.
