MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment

The Workbook_Open macro executes a PowerShell command that downloads a second-stage executable from 'http://3.64.251.139/v11/1/TDH_0117607520026IMG.exe' and saves it as 'C:\Users\Public\Documents\suggeststock.exe'. The macro also writes this command to 'C:\Users\Public\Documents\partnerlow.cmd' and then uses GetObject to execute the cmd file. This indicates a downloader pattern.

Heuristics 4

  • Workbook_Open macro high OLE_VBA_WBOPEN
    Workbook_Open macro
  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject 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
