MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1204.002 Malicious File

The Workbook_Open macro executes a command that writes a PowerShell command to a file named 'institutionsport.cm'. This command then downloads 'AnyDesk.exe' from 'http://thepunchlineexpose.com/Manager/AnyDesk.exe' and saves it as 'weekshe.exe' in the public documents directory. Finally, it executes the downloaded file. The script's intent is to download and execute a second-stage payload from a remote URL.

Heuristics 5

Workbook_Open macro high OLE_VBA_WBOPEN

Workbook_Open macro
CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ

CreateObject call
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.
Suspicious extracted artifact high EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE

One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS

Document contains VBA macro code
