MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File T1059.005 Visual Basic

The VBA macro within the document is configured to execute automatically upon opening. It constructs a PowerShell command that downloads a file from 'https://secur54.ga/v/Unosvpn.exe' and saves it as 'C:\Users\Public\Documents\largevote.exe', then executes the downloaded file. The ShellExecuteW API is used to open the file containing the command, facilitating the execution of the malicious payload.

Heuristics 5

  • Reference to ShellExecute API high SC_STR_SHELLEXEC
    Reference to ShellExecute API
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • 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.
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
