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

The critical ClamAV heuristic and the legacy WordBasic auto-exec marker 'AutoOpen' indicate malicious intent. The presence of 'AutoOpen' suggests the macro will run automatically when the document is opened, a common technique for dropping or executing further malware. The document body contains references to 'VIRUS4.DOC', likely an internal filename for the malicious macro.

  • ClamAV: Doc.Dropper.Agent-1501862 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Dropper.Agent-1501862
  • 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.
