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

The sample contains an obfuscated VBA macro with an auto_open subroutine that is designed to execute a payload. The macro reconstructs the URL "http://www.bitly.com/doaksodksueasddasweu" and the command "mshta" to download and execute a second-stage payload. The use of GetObject and ShellExecute indicates an attempt to run external code, likely to download further malicious content.

Heuristics 8

  • VBA project inside OOXML medium 6 related findings OOXML_VBA
    Document contains a VBA project — VBA macros present (project part renamed away from vbaProject.bin: ppt/asidjaisdjaisdj.b)
  • LOLBin reference in VBA critical OLE_VBA_LOLBIN
    LOLBin reference in VBA
    Matched line in script
        Case 1
        getEnumName = "mshta"
    Case 2
  • Obfuscated auto-exec VBA loader critical OLE_VBA_OBFUSCATED_AUTOEXEC_LOADER
    Auto-exec VBA reconstructs strings with a heavy custom decoder (numeric char-array, repeated hex-string decode, or junk-token Replace removal) and feeds them to a COM-instantiation or execution sink. This obfuscated-loader shape keeps CreateObject/Shell/URL indicators out of the macro source.
    Matched line in script
    Public Function calc()
Set calc = GetObject(StrReverse("000045355444-E94A-EC11-972C-02690731:wen"))
End Function
  • VBA project part renamed to evade filename detection high OOXML_VBA_PROJECT_RENAMED
    The VBA project is bound through the OOXML relationship/content type but its part is not named vbaProject.bin. Legitimate Office producers always emit vbaProject.bin; renaming it hides the macros from path-only scanners (observed in the SVCReady loader).
  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject call
    Matched line in script
    Public Function calc()
Set calc = GetObject(StrReverse("000045355444-E94A-EC11-972C-02690731:wen"))
End Function
  • 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.
  • Auto_Open macro low OLE_VBA_AUTO
    Auto_Open macro
    Matched line in script
    Attribute VB_Name = "clom"
Sub auto_open()
  • 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.
    URL http://www.bitly.com/doaksodksueasddasweu In document text (OOXML body / shared strings)
