MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample contains a Workbook_Open macro that executes a batch file and a VBScript. The VBScript is obfuscated but appears to download and execute payloads from multiple URLs. The batch file is also obfuscated and likely part of the initial execution chain. The presence of 'CreateObject' and 'Wscript.Shell' firings further supports the execution of scripts and system commands. The reconstructed URL 'http://goyaluaa.vmesha.in/0v6kcny/CG/' is a primary indicator of the malicious payload source.

  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject 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
