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

The sample is a malicious OOXML document containing VBA macros. The script uses the URLDownloadToFileA function to download a file named Powerpnt.exe from the URL http://10.10.14.101:80/download/Powerpnt.exe and saves it to the user's APPDATA directory. This indicates the document's purpose is to act as a downloader for a second-stage executable payload.

Heuristics 4

  • URLDownloadToFile in VBA critical OLE_VBA_DOWNLOAD
    URLDownloadToFile in VBA
  • VBA project inside OOXML medium OOXML_VBA
    Document contains vbaProject.bin — VBA macros present
  • 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.
