MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The sample is a malicious Word document containing VBA macros. The macros utilize CreateObject and Shell calls to download and execute a payload from remote URLs. Specifically, the script attempts to download files from 'http://searchengineservant.com/affiliates/fonts/67153178.txt123123123', 'http://savepic.su/5607313.png', and 'http://savepic.su/5605265.png', indicating an intent to fetch and run a second-stage exploit or malware.

Heuristics 13

  • 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
    a = Shell(b, 0)
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
    Matched line in script
    Set objHTTP = CreateObject("M" & "SXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject call
    Matched line in script
    Quick = GetObject(a)
  • 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
    AutoOpen macro
    Matched line in script
    Sub AutoOpen()
  • Workbook_Open macro low OLE_VBA_WBOPEN
    Workbook_Open macro
    Matched line in script
    Sub Workbook_Open()
  • Auto_Open macro low OLE_VBA_AUTO
    Auto_Open macro
    Matched line in script
    Sub Auto_Open()
  • Environ() call (env variable access) low OLE_VBA_ENVIRON
    Environ() call (env variable access)
    Matched line in script
    Environ(a)
  • 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.
  • 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.
