MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The critical ClamAV heuristic identified the file as Win.Trojan.Niki-1. The presence of a legacy WordBasic auto-exec marker, specifically 'AutoOpen', indicates that malicious code is intended to run automatically when the document is opened. This suggests a macro-based attack designed to execute arbitrary code.

Heuristics 2

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