MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample exhibits characteristics of a legacy macro virus, specifically identified by 'RSN MACRO VIRUS' markers and the mention of 'Goat file' within the document body. The presence of legacy WordBasic macro virus markers strongly suggests malicious intent, likely to spread or perform unauthorized actions via macro execution. While no specific IOCs like URLs or hashes were extracted, the heuristic firings are sufficient to classify this as a macro-based threat.

Heuristics 2

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Alliance-8 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Alliance-8
  • Legacy WordBasic macro-virus markers high OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_MACRO_VIRUS
    OLE Word document contains legacy WordBasic auto-execution macro markers such as AutoOpen plus ToolsMacro/MacroFile/fileMacro/globMacro or named historical macro-virus strings. These old Word 6/95 macro forms are not exposed as a modern VBA project, so normal VBA source extraction can miss them.
