MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The file contains VBA macros that utilize the Shell() function, indicating malicious intent. The macro attempts to write data to 'c:\hsf*.sys' and 'c:\netldx.vxd', and then attempts to connect to '209.201.88.110' using FTP-like commands. This suggests the macro is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 5

  • Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Shell() call in VBA
  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Marker-31 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Marker-31
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
  • 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.
