The Auto_Close macro in the VBA script triggers the Uganda function, which concatenates strings from various control properties to form a command. This command is then executed using the Shell() function. The specific command constructed is not fully determinable due to the dynamic nature of the string concatenation and the absence of specific values in the provided script excerpt. However, the presence of Shell() calls and VBA macros indicates a malicious intent to execute arbitrary commands.

Heuristics 4

  • Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Shell() call in VBA
  • 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
