Malicious Office (OOXML) / .DOCX — malware analysis report

Heuristics 7

• VBA project inside OOXML medium 5 related findings OOXML_VBA
  Document contains a VBA project — VBA macros present
• Potential Shell call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
  Potential Shell call in VBA
  Matched line in script

      Shell psCommand, 0

• PowerShell reference in VBA critical OLE_VBA_PS
  PowerShell reference in VBA
  Matched line in script

      psCommand = "powershell.exe -WindowStyle Hidden -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command " & _

• VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC
  Triggers on the COMBINATION of two tokens co-occurring in the same compiled VBA/cache stream: an auto-execution entry point (Auto_Open / AutoOpen / Document_Open / Workbook_Open / Auto_Close / AutoClose) AND a shell/download/object-execution token (Shell, CreateObject, GetObject, PowerShell, cmd.exe, URLDownloadToFile, WinHttp, XMLHTTP, ADODB.Stream, ShellExecute, ExecuteExcel4Macro). Neither token alone fires it — it is the pairing that flags p-code-only or source-extraction-failure macro documents where the visible VBA source is unavailable. The matched tokens are named in the detail line below.
• Document_Open macro low OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
  Document_Open macro
  Matched line in script

  Sub Document_Open()

• Environ() call (env variable access) low OLE_VBA_ENVIRON
  Environ() call (env variable access)
  Matched line in script

      savePath = Environ("TEMP") & "\system_update.exe"

• 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.
