MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample is identified as Win.Trojan.Sunbeam-1 by ClamAV. Legacy WordBasic macros are present, indicated by the OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_AUTOEXEC heuristic. These macros attempt to execute a batch file named 'die.bat' and write content to it, suggesting a downloader or execution mechanism for a secondary payload.

Heuristics 2

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Sunbeam-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Sunbeam-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.
