MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample is a legacy Word document containing WordBasic macros. The presence of the 'autoOpen' macro and the 'OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_AUTOEXEC' heuristic firing indicate that this macro is designed to execute automatically when the document is opened, likely to infect other documents. ClamAV also detected this file as Legacy.Trojan.Agent-468.

Heuristics 2

  • ClamAV: Legacy.Trojan.Agent-468 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Legacy.Trojan.Agent-468
  • 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.
