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

The file is a malicious OLE document containing VBA macros, as indicated by multiple high and critical heuristic firings, including ClamAV detections. The document body presents a business proposal for a PBS pledge program, likely intended to trick the user into enabling macros. No scripts were extracted, but the presence of VBA macros and the ClamAV detection strongly suggest a malicious intent, likely to download and execute a secondary payload.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Tristate-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Tristate-1
  • 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
