MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File T1059.003 Windows Command Shell

The sample is an XLSM file containing a Workbook_Open macro that executes a command using cmd.exe. This command uses certutil.exe to download a batch file from http://3.112.243.28/net/Nhmrwsew.bat and then executes the downloaded file. The ClamAV detection of 'Xls.Dropper.EPPlus-9802867-2' further confirms its malicious nature as a dropper.

Heuristics 9

Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL

Shell() call in VBA
LOLBin reference in VBA critical OLE_VBA_LOLBIN

LOLBin reference in VBA
ClamAV: Xls.Dropper.EPPlus-9802867-2 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

ClamAV detected this file as malware: Xls.Dropper.EPPlus-9802867-2
ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV

ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
Workbook_Open macro high OLE_VBA_WBOPEN

Workbook_Open macro
cmd.exe reference in VBA high OLE_VBA_CMD

cmd.exe reference in VBA
Suspicious extracted artifact high EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE

One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
VBA project inside OOXML medium OOXML_VBA

Document contains vbaProject.bin — VBA macros present
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.

URL http://3.112.243.28/net/Nhmrwsew.bat

Extracted artifacts 2

Files carved from inside the sample during analysis.
