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

The sample was detected as malicious by ClamAV with multiple signatures, including 'Win.Trojan.Tristate-2' and 'Doc.Trojan.Tristate-1' on an extracted artifact. Heuristics indicate the presence of VBA macros, including CreateObject and GetObject calls, and suspicious obfuscation techniques within the 'macros.bas' file. The document body content appears to be organizational information and does not directly indicate malicious intent, but the strong heuristic and AV detections point to a malware delivery mechanism.

Heuristics 7

  • 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
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
