The sample contains VBA macros with Auto_open and Auto_close functions. The Auto_open macro uses URLDownloadToFile to download two files: 'msi.ps1' from http://updatewin32.xyz/3.txt and 'ComeCome.vbs' from http://edc.com.ly/index/wp.txt. The Auto_close macro then executes 'ComeCome.vbs' using cmd.exe. This indicates a downloader pattern designed to fetch and execute further malicious content.

Heuristics 9

  • Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Shell() call in VBA
  • URLDownloadToFile in VBA critical OLE_VBA_DOWNLOAD
    URLDownloadToFile in VBA
  • Auto_Open macro high OLE_VBA_AUTO
    Auto_Open macro
  • Auto_Close macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOCLOSE
    Auto_Close macro
  • cmd.exe reference in VBA high OLE_VBA_CMD
    cmd.exe reference in VBA
  • 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.
  • VBA project inside OOXML medium OOXML_VBA
    Document contains a VBA project — VBA macros present
  • Environ() call (env variable access) low OLE_VBA_ENVIRON
    Environ() call (env variable access)
  • 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 http://updatewin32.xyz/3.txt
    • http://edc.com.ly/index/wp.txt
    • http://updatewin32.xyz/3.txt�
    • http://edc.com.ly/index/wp.txt�
