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

The sample is a legacy Word document containing a WordBasic macro that executes upon opening (AutoOpen). The macro presents a social engineering message to the user, prompting them to infect their Normal.dot template with the macro. This behavior is consistent with a macro-based trojan designed to spread and infect other documents.

    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Tytin-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.
