MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample exhibits legacy WordBasic macro virus markers and is detected by ClamAV as Win.Trojan.KillProt-2. The embedded document body contains VBA code that attempts to copy its macros to other open documents, indicating a self-spreading or worm-like behavior. This behavior is consistent with older macro-based malware designed to propagate.

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.KillProt-2 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.KillProt-2
  • 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.
