Malicious Office (OLE) — malware analysis report

Heuristics 15

• ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.Generic-6698421-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
  ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.Generic-6698421-0
• VBA macros detected medium 9 related findings OLE_VBA_MACROS
  Document contains VBA macro code
• Potential Shell call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
  Potential Shell call in VBA
  Matched line in script

  Shell(b, 0)

• Dangerous API name reassembled from split string literals critical OLE_VBA_SPLIT_KEYWORD_OBFUSCATION
  VBA concatenates short string literals that reassemble a dangerous API/ProgID/LOLBin name (e.g. Scripting.FileSystemObject, WScript.Shell, powershell, URLDownloadToFile) which appears in no single literal. Splitting an API name across string concatenation is done only to evade keyword scanning.

• Payload URL assembled from a Chr()/Asc() string expression (3 URLs) high OLE_VBA_EXPR_DROPPER_URL
  A VBA macro builds its stage-2 download URL character by character from string literals concatenated with Chr()/Asc()/StrReverse() results — often nested (Chr(Asc(Chr(Asc("h")))) = "h") and split across the + and & operators, sometimes written out via Print #n, into a second-stage VBScript/PowerShell file. The URL is assembled at run time and never appears contiguously on disk, and there is no numeric array to brute-force, so a literal scan and the array recoverers both miss it. A bounded expression evaluator resolved it; surfaced as an IOC. Self-validating: only a valid host URL that is not already present verbatim in the macro is reported, so a benign macro cannot false-positive.
• 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.
• AutoOpen macro low OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN

• Payment redirection / bank-detail change lure high SE_PAYMENT_REDIRECT_LURE
  Document describes new or changed bank, wire, ACH, IBAN, SWIFT, or routing instructions — a high-value business-email-compromise pattern
• Legacy WordBasic auto-exec macro marker medium OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_AUTOEXEC
  OLE Word document contains a legacy WordBasic auto-execution marker such as AutoOpen, but no modern VBA project was recovered and no stronger macro-virus family marker was present. This is analyst-facing evidence for old Word macro execution surface, not a downloader or parser-CVE attribution by itself.
• 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
• 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.
