T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell

The file is a PowerPoint presentation containing a malicious VBA macro. The macro is triggered by the Auto_Open event and uses a GetObject call to execute code. The script appears to be designed to download and run a second-stage payload, indicated by the `bora.myvalue.Run madar` call, where `madar` is constructed from strings obtained via `bora.getEnumName`. The exact nature of the payload is not discernible due to obfuscation and truncation, but the overall intent is clear.

Heuristics 4

  • Auto_Open macro high OLE_VBA_AUTO
    Auto_Open macro
  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject call
  • 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
