The sample contains VBA macros that are designed to disable security settings and execute an external file. Specifically, the 'Document_Close' subroutine attempts to delete macro security commands and then executes '\\jdq\cc$\b.exe' using the Shell command. The macro also exhibits self-replication behavior, indicating an attempt to spread or evade detection. The presence of these malicious behaviors strongly suggests a downloader or dropper functionality.

  • VBA macro-virus self-replication / AV tampering critical OLE_VBA_MACRO_VIRUS_REPLICATION
    VBA macro programmatically rewrites VBA project code through the VBE object model (CodeModule/VBComponents InsertLines/DeleteLines/AddFromString or OrganizerCopy) to copy itself into the global template and other open documents, and/or disables Office macro-virus protection (Options.VirusProtection = False). This is the defining behavior of the W97M document macro-virus family — self-replicating code with no benign document use, independent of any AV signature.
