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

The sample contains a VBA macro with an AutoOpen subroutine, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon document opening. The script attempts to download a file from the URL 'the embedded link' and save it as 'C:\ProgramData\717294498.ej4p5ge'. It then uses 'cmd.exe' to execute the downloaded file, indicating a downloader or dropper functionality.

Heuristics 5

  • External relationship high OOXML_EXTERNAL_REL
    External target in word/_rels/document.xml.rels: file:///C:\Framework\rels\builds\pack1\it.jpg
  • VBA project inside OOXML medium 2 related findings OOXML_VBA
    Document contains a VBA project — VBA macros present
  • AutoOpen macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen 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.
  • 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.
