MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The Workbook_Open macro executes a PowerShell command that downloads a second-stage executable from 'http://ddl8.data.hu/get/251388/13126736/jogc.exe' and saves it as 'C:\Users\Public\Documents\himselfcontain.exe'. The macro also attempts to open a file named 'C:\Users\Public\dssdd.cmzd' using explorer, which likely serves as a lure or a way to trigger the execution of the downloaded payload.

Heuristics 5

  • Reference to ShellExecute API high SC_STR_SHELLEXEC
    Reference to ShellExecute API
  • Workbook_Open macro high OLE_VBA_WBOPEN
    Workbook_Open macro
  • 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 macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Suspicious extracted artifact medium 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.
