MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, as indicated by multiple OLE and VBA heuristic firings. The document body explicitly warns of a macro virus, suggesting a social engineering lure. The presence of 'CreateObject' and 'GetObject' calls within the VBA macros, along with the ClamAV detection of 'Doc.Trojan.Tristate-1' on an extracted artifact, strongly suggests the macros are designed to download and execute a malicious payload. No specific family could be identified, but the delivery mechanism is clearly macro-based.

Heuristics 6

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.
OLE document has large unaccounted-for region high OLE_SLACK_ANOMALY

OLE file is 52,736 bytes but its declared streams total only 18,572 bytes — 34,164 bytes (65%) live in unallocated sector slack. This is the canonical hiding place for pre-macro-era Office exploit payloads (XOR-encoded shellcode reached via a parser pointer-corruption bug in the document structure).
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
