MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The presence of a legacy WordBasic auto-exec macro marker ('autoopen') and critical heuristics indicating suspicious embedded OLE objects strongly suggest malicious intent. ClamAV detection as 'Win.Trojan.Thebman-2' further supports this. The embedded OLE object is the primary indicator of a potential secondary payload or exploit.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Thebman-2 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Thebman-2
  • Embedded Office document has suspicious static findings critical EMBEDDED_OFFICE_CHILD_STATIC_TRIAGE
    A CFB/OLE Office document was found inside another file type and its carved contents matched Office exploit or payload heuristics. This catches wrapped exploit documents where the top-level file routes to a PE, archive, or generic scanner instead of Office.
  • 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.
  • CFB header with no readable streams medium OLE_PARSE_EMPTY_STREAMS
    The file begins with a valid OLE2/CFB header but exposes no directory streams. A non-empty compound document with an unreadable directory is anomalous — it is seen with truncated/corrupt files and, more importantly, with content deliberately shifted off byte boundaries to defeat parsers while the host application still recovers the object.
