MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample is an XLSM file containing VBA macros. A critical heuristic firing indicates the presence of a Shell() call within the VBA code. The extracted VBA script constructs a PowerShell command that downloads a second-stage executable named 'Jogerb.exe' from 'http://ddl8.data.hu/get/355185/13087540/Jogerb.exe' and then executes it. The script also saves this command to a batch file named 'Sgjeutyk.bat' before attempting to execute it.

Heuristics 2

  • Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Shell() call in VBA
  • VBA project inside OOXML medium OOXML_VBA
