MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The file contains obfuscated VBA macros, including a Workbook_Open event, which is a common loader technique. The script attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload using Wscript.Shell, referencing the reconstructed URL: "http://santabetortilla.com/_baks_/tUX9/http://donbaham.com/Home_files/YS0PPAZYerare/http://barnhart-studies.com/eln-images/vggh1ng/http://blute.com/3Dtech/jLu8IAnnj3gK9WC/http://zenzebra.net/plath/9Q0DBLE/http://realacorp.net/PhotoGallery/Uw mRHceSGbaCeGF/http://miniflam.com/eln-images/fSwbQUMQfgdw/http://marezdecor.com/MarezAallery/sEQxW TpMJ7A8rAY0D/". It also attempts to drop files to \"c:\programdata\yhjlswle.vbs\" and \"c:\programdata\ughldskbhn.bat\".

Heuristics 7

  • Obfuscated auto-exec VBA loader critical OLE_VBA_OBFUSCATED_AUTOEXEC_LOADER
    Auto-exec VBA reconstructs strings with a heavy custom decoder (numeric char-array, repeated hex-string decode, or junk-token Replace removal) and feeds them to a COM-instantiation or execution sink. This obfuscated-loader shape keeps CreateObject/Shell/URL indicators out of the macro source.
  • ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.EmotetRed02220-9938909-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.EmotetRed02220-9938909-0
  • Reference to Windows Script Host high SC_STR_WSCRIPT
    Reference to Windows Script Host
  • Workbook_Open macro high OLE_VBA_WBOPEN
    Workbook_Open macro
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC
    Compiled VBA/cache stream contains an auto-execution token together with shell/download/object-execution tokens. This catches p-code-only or source-extraction-failure macro documents where visible source is unavailable.
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
