MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer T1204.002 Malicious File

The Workbook_Open macro executes a PowerShell command that downloads a file named 'MSOutlook.exe' from 'http://192.210.214.174/Office/MSOutlook.exe' and saves it as 'C:\Users\Public\Documents\everybodyincluding.exe'. The macro also attempts to open an explorer window with a path that resolves to 'C:\Users\Public\dssdd.cm'. This indicates a downloader functionality.

Heuristics 5

    Reference to ShellExecute API
  • Workbook_Open macro high OLE_VBA_WBOPEN
    Workbook_Open macro
  • VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC
