Malicious Office (OOXML) / .DOC — malware analysis report

Heuristics 10

• VBA property-stored shellcode loader critical OLE_VBA_PROPERTY_SHELLCODE_LOADER
  VBA auto-exec macro takes the address (VarPtr) of a byte buffer decoded from a document property, marks memory executable (VirtualProtect/VirtualAlloc), and transfers control through a callback API (e.g. SetTimer/EnumWindows). The payload is hidden in the document properties rather than the macro source — the SVCReady loader pattern, a native shellcode runner rather than a parser CVE.
• ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.8a5a5aca5aca5a7a-OOXML-9981537-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
  ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.8a5a5aca5aca5a7a-OOXML-9981537-0
• OOXML part with non-standard content type and high-entropy data high OOXML_BOGUS_CUSTOM_PART
  The package declares a part with an invented content type (not an OpenXML/Office/standard media type) holding large, high-entropy (likely encrypted/packed) data. Legitimate OOXML files do not carry opaque binary blobs under custom content types; this is the embedded next-stage payload pattern used by loaders such as SVCReady.
• VBA project part renamed to evade filename detection high OOXML_VBA_PROJECT_RENAMED
  The VBA project is bound through the OOXML relationship/content type but its part is not named vbaProject.bin. Legitimate Office producers always emit vbaProject.bin; renaming it hides the macros from path-only scanners (observed in the SVCReady loader).
• Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
  Document_Open macro
• GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
  GetObject call
• VBA reads reversed config from document properties high OLE_VBA_REVERSED_DOCPROP_CONFIG
  VBA applies StrReverse to values read from the document's custom/built-in properties. Storing reversed configuration (URLs, CLSIDs, env-var names, payload names) in document properties keeps indicators out of the macro source — an obfuscation technique used by the SVCReady loader.
• VBA project inside OOXML medium OOXML_VBA
  Document contains a VBA project — VBA macros present (project part renamed away from vbaProject.bin: word/RMDBjcifsZ.bin)
• Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LURE
  Document instructs the user to enable macros or editing — a common technique used by malware droppers to bypass Office macro security settings
• 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.
