MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The Workbook_Open macro executes a GetObject call to create a batch file named 'god.bat' in the public documents directory. This batch file contains a PowerShell command that downloads an executable from 'http://ddl8.data.hu/get/333657/13082333/YConsoleApp118bg.exe' and saves it as 'healthforeign.exe' in the same directory, before executing it. The script then attempts to open the downloaded executable.

Heuristics 4

  • Workbook_Open macro high OLE_VBA_WBOPEN
    Workbook_Open macro
  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject call
  • 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.
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
