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

The sample contains VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. The script uses WinAPI calls to download a payload from the hardcoded URLs: 'https://voyage-prive.thelearningvoyage.com/static/files/6e0b7833-d009-4d39-bc9d-b3e6354dbfd7-64' and 'https://voyage-prive.thelearningvoyage.com/static/files/6e0b7833-d009-4d39-bc9d-b3e6354dbfd7-32'. The script also attempts to communicate with 'elephant-info.azureedge.net', likely for command and control or logging. This indicates a downloader or droppper functionality.

Heuristics 6

  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • 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.
  • VBA project inside OOXML medium OOXML_VBA
    Document contains vbaProject.bin — VBA macros present
  • Environ() call (env variable access) low OLE_VBA_ENVIRON
    Environ() call (env variable access)
  • 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.
