MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1053.005 Scheduled Task

The sample contains VBA macros, including an Auto_Close macro, which is a common technique for malicious documents. The script utilizes CreateObject to interact with the system and appears to be setting up a scheduled task for execution. The specific object and method calls suggest an attempt to establish persistence or schedule a malicious payload. The reconstructed string 'H2A(H2A(ArrayList(413)))' is likely an obfuscated reference to a system object used for task scheduling.

Heuristics 5

  • Auto_Close macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOCLOSE
    Auto_Close 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 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.
