MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample is a legacy Office document containing a WordBasic AutoOpen macro, identified by the OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_AUTOEXEC heuristic. This macro is designed to execute automatically upon opening the document, likely to download and execute a secondary payload from the embedded URL http://www.comptechdev.com/cavop/aoe/. The ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature.

Heuristics 3

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Minimal-53 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Minimal-53
  • 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.
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
