MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The critical heuristic 'OLE_VBA_HTTP_DROP_EXEC' indicates that the VBA macro downloads a file from an HTTP URL and saves it to disk. The script uses CreateObject and GetObject calls, common in macro-based malware. The reconstructed URL 'http://opcmwngWPesrSMXLTGD.com/EPSM2XLTp60gTDD.tem' is the primary indicator of compromise.

Heuristics 5

  • VBA downloads and writes a file to disk critical OLE_VBA_HTTP_DROP_EXEC
    VBA reads an HTTP response body and writes it to disk (ADODB.Stream SaveToFile). Combined with the auto-exec/Shell paths this is a download-drop dropper even when the COM ProgIDs are built dynamically to evade keyword scanning.
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject call
  • VBA project inside OOXML medium OOXML_VBA
    Document contains a VBA project — VBA macros present
  • Environ() call (env variable access) low OLE_VBA_ENVIRON
    Environ() call (env variable access)
