MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample is a legacy Word document containing WordBasic macros. The presence of the 'FileSaveAs' marker in the AutoExec section and the ClamAV detection as 'Win.Trojan.AntiIVX-2' strongly suggest malicious intent. The macro likely attempts to download and execute a secondary payload, potentially targeting the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

Heuristics 2

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