Malicious Office (OOXML) — malware analysis report

Heuristics 7

• VBA project inside OOXML medium 5 related findings OOXML_VBA
  Document contains a VBA project — VBA macros present
• GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
  GetObject call
  Matched line in script

    Set Obj = GetObject("new:C08AFD90-F2A1-11D1-8455-00A0C91F3880")

• cmd.exe reference in VBA high OLE_VBA_CMD
  cmd.exe reference in VBA
  Matched line in script

    Obj.Document.Application.ShellExecute "cmd.exe", "/c calc.exe", "C:\Windows\System32", Null, 0

• VBA instantiates a COM class by raw CLSID high OLE_VBA_GETOBJECT_CLSID_EVASION
  VBA uses GetObject("new:{CLSID}") to instantiate a COM class by raw CLSID rather than a CreateObject ProgID — an uncommon bypass of name-based macro detection.
  Matched line in script

    Set Obj = GetObject("new:C08AFD90-F2A1-11D1-8455-00A0C91F3880")

• VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC
  Triggers on the COMBINATION of two tokens co-occurring in the same compiled VBA/cache stream: an auto-execution entry point (Auto_Open / AutoOpen / Document_Open / Workbook_Open / Auto_Close / AutoClose) AND a shell/download/object-execution token (Shell, CreateObject, GetObject, PowerShell, cmd.exe, URLDownloadToFile, WinHttp, XMLHTTP, ADODB.Stream, ShellExecute, ExecuteExcel4Macro). Neither token alone fires it — it is the pairing that flags p-code-only or source-extraction-failure macro documents where the visible VBA source is unavailable. The matched tokens are named in the detail line below.
• AutoOpen macro low OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
  AutoOpen macro
  Matched line in script

  Public Sub AutoOpen()

• 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.
