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

The OOXML document contains a Workbook_Open VBA macro that utilizes VBA.CreateObject("Shell.Application") to execute arbitrary commands. This macro is designed to run automatically when the document is opened, indicating an attempt to execute a malicious payload. The specific command executed is obfuscated but involves the 'ShellExecute' method.

Heuristics 5

  • VBA project inside OOXML medium 3 related findings OOXML_VBA
    Document contains a VBA project — VBA macros present
  • Workbook_Open macro high OLE_VBA_WBOPEN
    Workbook_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.
  • 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.
