MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1547.001 Registry Run Keys / Startup Folder

The Document_Open macro executes a PowerShell command to download a second-stage executable from 'http://188.34.187.110/1234.exe' and save it as 'C:\Users\Public\7894651321486654123.exe'. It then creates a shortcut file 'C:\Users\Public\skeml.lks' which, when executed, will run the downloaded payload. The use of cmd.exe and GetObject indicates a malicious intent to execute arbitrary code.

Heuristics 8

  • ClamAV: Doc.Malware.Valyria-10008068-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Malware.Valyria-10008068-0
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject call
  • cmd.exe reference in VBA high OLE_VBA_CMD
    cmd.exe reference in VBA
  • 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.
