MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample is a legacy Word document containing a WordBasic AutoOpen macro, which is a known technique for executing malicious code upon document opening. The presence of the 'AutoOpen' marker and the ClamAV detection as Win.Trojan.Tear-1 strongly indicate malicious intent, likely to download and execute a secondary payload.

Heuristics 2

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Tear-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Tear-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.
