MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample is a Microsoft Word document that exhibits critical heuristic firings for CVE-2007-3899, a memory corruption vulnerability, and also references APIs commonly used for loading and executing code such as VirtualProtect, LoadLibrary, and GetProcAddress. The presence of VBA macros further supports the execution of malicious code. The document likely attempts to trick the user into opening a password-protected archive, as indicated by the 'SE_PASSWORD_ARCHIVE_LURE' heuristic, which is a common tactic to bypass gateway security. The embedded URL is likely used to download the next stage of the attack.

Heuristics 8

  • CVE-2007-3899 — Microsoft Word malformed string memory corruption critical CVE likely CVE_2007_3899
    Word OLE document has the MS07-060 malformed-string exploit shape: a Word 97-family FIB points to a malformed DOP/string-table region with an abnormal INT_MAX run, inflated text counters, and exploit payload or Mdropper.Z campaign evidence.

  • Reference to GetProcAddress API high SC_STR_GETPROCADDRESS
    Reference to GetProcAddress API
  • Password-protected archive handoff high SE_PASSWORD_ARCHIVE_LURE
