MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample contains a Document_Open VBA macro that attempts to locate and execute a file named 'zoro.kl'. The macro also attempts to write to registry keys related to VBA security settings, likely to disable warnings or enable macro execution. The script's intent is to download and execute a second-stage payload, but the exact location and nature of this payload could not be fully determined due to script obfuscation and truncation. The presence of an EMF object within an EPRINT stream also suggests potential exploitation or malicious content embedding.

Heuristics 5

  • Office EPRINT stream contains EMF object high CVE related OLE_EPRINT_EMF_OBJECT
    OLE ObjectPool contains an EPRINT stream with EMF data. This is rare in normal documents and is CVE-2007-3893/MS07-046-family evidence when paired with Office exploit payload anomalies, but the malformed EMF record is not proven by this rule alone.
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info 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.
  • 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.
