MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The VBA macro within the Excel file contains obfuscated code that ultimately executes a PowerShell command. This command downloads a second-stage executable from 'http://sparepartiran.com/js/2Q/Yvvtz1.exe' and saves it as 'C:\Users\Public\uefummek.exe' before executing it. The presence of PowerShell execution and the download of an executable strongly indicate a malicious downloader.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Xls.Malware.Sagent-10035294-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Xls.Malware.Sagent-10035294-0
  • Reference to PowerShell high SC_STR_POWERSHELL
    Reference to PowerShell
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • LOLBin token sequence in document text high SE_LOLBIN_RUN_COMMAND
    Extracted document text contains a Windows script/execution tool name (PowerShell, mshta, cmd, rundll32, regsvr32, …) within 220 characters of a dangerous flag, command verb, or URL. This is a visible 'run this' instruction in HTML/PDF/RTF lure bodies, or — in macro-laden Office files — the macro's own string-pool entries appearing adjacent in extracted text.
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • 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://sparepartiran.com/js/2Q/Yvvtz1.exe
