T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample contains VBA macros that are executed upon opening the workbook, as indicated by the Workbook_Open heuristic. The script utilizes `CreateObject` to instantiate `Wscript.Shell` and `Scripting.FileSystemObject`, which are then used to execute commands and write files to disk. Specifically, it attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload from multiple URLs, including 'http://goyaluaat.vmesha.in/0v6kcny/CG/'. The presence of `Wscript.Shell` and the execution of external scripts point to a downloader or dropper functionality.

  • 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.
