MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with multiple signatures indicating it is a Trojan. The presence of VBA macros, specifically detected by OLE_VBA_MACROS, OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ, and OLE_VBA_GETOBJ heuristics, suggests that the document is designed to execute malicious code. The extracted document body, while in Czech and related to medical procedures, is likely a lure to encourage the user to enable macros. The embedded VBA macros are the primary mechanism for delivering the payload.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Tristate-2 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Tristate-2
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject call
  • Suspicious extracted artifact high EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
