T1071.001 Web Protocols: Web Protocols
The sample is a malicious Office document containing a VBA macro that executes upon opening. The macro uses WinHttp to download a file from 'http://185.121.139.238/~payments/background.png', saves it as '%TEMP%\svchost.exe', and then executes it. This behavior is indicative of a downloader malware.

Potential Shell call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELLPotential Shell call in VBAMatched line in script
Call Shell(Environ("Temp") + "\svchost.exe", 0) -
Obfuscated VBA Shell command with URL critical OLE_VBA_OBFUSCATED_SHELL_URLVBA macro invokes Shell with command text assembled through decoder or string-manipulation functions and includes a URL. This is a high-confidence downloader/dropper pattern, stronger than Shell or URL evidence on their own.Matched line in script
Call Shell(Environ("Temp") + "\svchost.exe", 0) -
VBA downloads and writes a file to disk critical OLE_VBA_HTTP_DROP_EXECVBA reads an HTTP response body and writes it to disk (ADODB.Stream SaveToFile). Combined with the auto-exec/Shell paths this is a download-drop dropper even when the COM ProgIDs are built dynamically to evade keyword scanning.Matched line in script
xyuhjnx = WinHttpReq.responseBody -
Obfuscated auto-exec VBA loader critical OLE_VBA_OBFUSCATED_AUTOEXEC_LOADERAuto-exec VBA reconstructs strings with a heavy custom decoder (numeric char-array, repeated hex-string decode, or junk-token Replace removal) and feeds them to a COM-instantiation or execution sink. This obfuscated-loader shape keeps CreateObject/Shell/URL indicators out of the macro source.Matched line in script
Set WinHttpReq = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") -

VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXECCompiled 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.
