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

The sample contains VBA macros that leverage `GetObject` and `CreateObject` to construct and execute a batch script. The script is designed to create a file named 'Jasfu.bat' in the user's profile directory, which likely serves as a downloader for a second-stage payload. The `GetObject` call with the string 'new:13709620-C279-11CE-A49E-444553540000' suggests an attempt to interact with a specific COM object for execution.

Heuristics 5

  • VBA instantiates/executes content from worksheet cells critical OLE_VBA_CELL_GETOBJECT_EXEC
    VBA passes a worksheet cell/comment reference to GetObject and drives an Exec/Open/Run sink. Malware hides the COM moniker and command in cell data so the macro source carries no literal indicators.
