Win.Trojan.BlackEnd-1 · confidence 95%

MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is identified as a legacy Word document containing a WordBasic AutoOpen macro, a known marker for the BlackEnd virus. The document body explicitly states it is the 'BlackEnd AutoMacro Virus' and mentions its generation with a 'DEMOLITION KIT'. The presence of the AutoOpen macro indicates an attempt to automatically execute malicious code when the document is opened, consistent with the BlackEnd family's known behavior.

    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.BlackEnd-1
  • 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.
