MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter T1204.002 Malicious File T1140 Deobfuscate or Obfuscate Malicious Code

The sample contains a VBA macro with a Document_Open auto-execution subroutine. This subroutine utilizes WScript.Shell to execute a command that downloads and runs a second-stage executable from the URL 'http://suyascollections.com/language/Don109/Cryptèfile109.exe', saving it to '%TEMP%\nvpuxehzwr.exe' and then executing it from 'C:\Users\Public\nvpuxehzwr.exe'. The obfuscated string 'AKrDsxioC' decodes to the command that performs this download and execution.

Heuristics 9

  • Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Shell() call in VBA
  • WScript.Shell usage critical OLE_VBA_WSCRIPT
    WScript.Shell usage
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • 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
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
  • 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.

  • Macro capabilities present but unconfirmed info MACRO_CAPABILITY_UNCORROBORATED
    The document's VBA exposes execution capabilities (Shell/WScript/CreateObject/auto-exec) but nothing corroborates malicious intent — no obfuscation, memory-exec primitive, download+exec chain, encoded payload, LOLBin, DDE, AV hit, or suspicious URL. The verdict was capped at 'suspicious' so legitimate macro-heavy business documents are not flagged malicious on capability presence alone.
