MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1218.005 Mshta

The presence of a VBA Auto_Close macro that executes mshta.exe indicates a malicious intent to download and run a secondary payload. The macro's p-code indicates execution tokens, further supporting this. The embedded URL, although marked as confirmed benign, is still included as a potential IOC. The specific family could not be determined due to the generic nature of the macro.

Heuristics 5

  • Reference to mshta.exe high SC_STR_MSHTA
    Reference to mshta.exe
  • Auto_Close macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOCLOSE
    Auto_Close 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 macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • 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.
