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

The sample contains a VBA macro that triggers on Document_Open and displays a form (frmStart) which allows a user to enter a URL, credentials, and a destination path. The script explicitly calls a function 'DownloadFile' using the user-provided 'txtURL.Text' and 'txtPfad.Text'. No hardcoded C2 URLs were found in the extracted scripts, as the input is taken from the user via the interface.

Heuristics 6

  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • 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
  • Environ() call (env variable access) low OLE_VBA_ENVIRON
    Environ() call (env variable access)
  • 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.
