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
• VBA WMI Win32_Process launcher critical OLE_VBA_WMI_PROCESS_CREATE
  VBA macro builds or references a WMI moniker for Win32_Process and invokes .Create to start a command. This is a high-confidence macro execution chain that often hides the WMI class name through string concatenation or helper functions.

      Set obj = GetObject("wi" & "nmg" & "mts" & ":Wi" & "n32_Pr" & "ocess")

• Dangerous API name reassembled from split string literals critical OLE_VBA_SPLIT_KEYWORD_OBFUSCATION
  VBA concatenates short string literals that reassemble a dangerous API/ProgID/LOLBin name (e.g. Scripting.FileSystemObject, WScript.Shell, powershell, URLDownloadToFile) which appears in no single literal. Splitting an API name across string concatenation is done only to evade keyword scanning.
