The sample contains VBA macros that execute upon opening. The AutoOpen macro uses Microsoft.XMLHTTP to download a file from 'http://f0540378.xsph.ru/12_CNB_Programas_de_Becas-70212-em.bat' and saves it locally as '12_CNB_Programas_de_Becas-70212-em.bat'. Subsequently, the Shell function is called to execute this downloaded file, indicating a downloader or droppper functionality.

Heuristics 6

  • VBA project inside OOXML medium 4 related findings OOXML_VBA
    Document contains a VBA project — VBA macros present
  • Potential Shell call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Potential Shell call in VBA
    Matched line in script
    Shell ("12_CNB_Programas_de_Becas-70212-em.bat")
  • VBA downloads and writes a file to disk critical OLE_VBA_HTTP_DROP_EXEC
    VBA reads an HTTP response body and writes it to disk (ADODB.Stream SaveToFile). Combined with the auto-exec/Shell paths this is a download-drop dropper even when the COM ProgIDs are built dynamically to evade keyword scanning.

     .write perrito.responseBody
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
    Matched line in script

  • 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.
