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 presence of 'India' in the document body, which is also referenced in the ClamAV detection name 'Win.Trojan.India-3'. The document body contains embedded text that mimics file paths and document content, likely intended to obfuscate the malicious macro's true purpose. The macro attempts to set document passwords, suggesting an effort to control or restrict access, possibly after a malicious action.
