Malicious Office (OOXML) — malware analysis report

Heuristics 9

• VBA project inside OOXML medium 5 related findings OOXML_VBA
  Document contains a VBA project — VBA macros present (project part renamed away from vbaProject.bin: word/vbaProjectSignatureV3.bin)
• VBA downloads and writes a file to disk critical OLE_VBA_HTTP_DROP_EXEC
  VBA reads an HTTP response body and writes it to disk (ADODB.Stream SaveToFile). Combined with the auto-exec/Shell paths this is a download-drop dropper even when the COM ProgIDs are built dynamically to evade keyword scanning.
  Matched line in script

          oStream.Write WinHttpReq.responseBody

• 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).
• CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
  CreateObject call
  Matched line in script

      Set WinHttpReq = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")

• AutoOpen macro low OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
  AutoOpen macro
  Matched line in script

  Sub AutoOpen()

• Document_Open macro low OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
  Document_Open macro
  Matched line in script

  Sub Document_Open()

• Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LURE
  Document instructs the user to enable macros or editing — a common technique used by malware droppers to bypass Office macro security settings
• VBA project is signed but not by a recognised publisher info VBA_SIGNED_UNTRUSTED
  The VBA project carries a digital signature, but the signer does not chain to a recognised code-signing publisher/CA (self-signed, unknown issuer, or unparseable). A signature alone is not evidence of benignity — malware is routinely self-signed or signed with stolen certificates.
• 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.
