T1059.005 Visual Basic
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
The sample contains critical heuristic firings indicating the presence of VBA macros that self-replicate and disable virus protection. The VBA script attempts to write to a file named 'c:\netldx.vxd' and connect to the IP address '209.201.88.110', suggesting it acts as a downloader for a second-stage payload. The document body is in Chinese and discusses an award, which is likely a lure.

VBA macro-virus self-replication / AV tampering critical OLE_VBA_MACRO_VIRUS_REPLICATIONVBA macro programmatically rewrites VBA project code through the VBE object model (CodeModule/VBComponents InsertLines/DeleteLines/AddFromString or OrganizerCopy) to copy itself into the global template and other open documents, and/or disables Office macro-virus protection (Options.VirusProtection = False). This is the defining behavior of the W97M document macro-virus family — self-replicating code with no benign document use, independent of any AV signature.Matched line in script
