MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.003 Windows Command Shell

The sample contains VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro that triggers the execution of a command. The script reconstructs the command to be 'cmd /s /k .ha', which is then executed using VBA's Shell() function. This indicates the document is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload, likely by writing content to a file named '.ha' and then executing it via the command shell.

Heuristics 5

  • Shell() call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Shell() call in VBA
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN

  • Suspicious extracted artifact high 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.
  • 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.
