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

The sample contains VBA macros, including an AutoOpen macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening a document. The script explicitly calls URLDownloadToFile to download a file from 'http://m33xa3.com/hboneb/sol95.php?l=puom4.cab' and saves it as 'tF.tmp'. This indicates the document's primary purpose is to act as a downloader for a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 6

  • URLDownloadToFile in VBA critical OLE_VBA_DOWNLOAD
    URLDownloadToFile in VBA
  • ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.GreenBox5-9139204-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.GreenBox5-9139204-0
  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
  • 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 project inside OOXML medium OOXML_VBA
    Document contains a VBA project — VBA macros present
  • 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.
