T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
T1059.005 Visual Basic
This OOXML document contains a VBA macro that is obfuscated and likely intended to download and execute a secondary payload. The presence of a 'Document_Open' macro and the 'SE_ENABLE_LURE' heuristic indicate a common delivery mechanism for malware. The VBA project part was renamed to 'word/ntxZIHFNZB.bin' to evade detection.
Heuristics 7
-
OOXML part with non-standard content type and high-entropy data high OOXML_BOGUS_CUSTOM_PARTThe package declares a part with an invented content type (not an OpenXML/Office/standard media type) holding large, high-entropy (likely encrypted/packed) data. Legitimate OOXML files do not carry opaque binary blobs under custom content types; this is the embedded next-stage payload pattern used by loaders such as SVCReady.
-
VBA project part renamed to evade filename detection high OOXML_VBA_PROJECT_RENAMEDThe VBA project is bound through the OOXML relationship/content type but its part is not named vbaProject.bin. Legitimate Office producers always emit vbaProject.bin; renaming it hides the macros from path-only scanners (observed in the SVCReady loader).
-
Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPENDocument_Open macro
-
VBA reads reversed config from document properties high OLE_VBA_REVERSED_DOCPROP_CONFIGVBA applies StrReverse to values read from the document's custom/built-in properties. Storing reversed configuration (URLs, CLSIDs, env-var names, payload names) in document properties keeps indicators out of the macro source — an obfuscation technique used by the SVCReady loader.
-
VBA project inside OOXML medium OOXML_VBADocument contains a VBA project — VBA macros present (project part renamed away from vbaProject.bin: word/ntxZIHFNZB.bin)
-
Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LUREDocument instructs the user to enable macros or editing — a common technique used by malware droppers to bypass Office macro security settings
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne 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.URL http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2010/wordprocessingCanvas
