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

The sample is a Microsoft Office document containing obfuscated VBA macros. Heuristics indicate the presence of auto-executing macros and calls to CreateObject and Shell, suggesting malicious intent. The VBA script attempts to construct and download content from two URLs, 'http://www.glamourstylistas.com/administrator/components/com_joomlaupdate/' and 'http://web251.login-37.hoststar.ch/administrator/components/com_joomlaupdate/', which likely serves as a second-stage payload. The script's complexity and obfuscation, along with the use of shell execution, point towards a downloader or droppper functionality.

Heuristics 11

  • ClamAV: Doc.Macro.ObfuscatedHeuristic-5931994-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Macro.ObfuscatedHeuristic-5931994-0
  • VBA macros detected medium 7 related findings OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Potential Shell call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
    Potential Shell call in VBA
    Matched line in script
    bydd = Shell(a, 0)
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
    Matched line in script
    Creasqwdqwjdk = CreateObject(a)
  • 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.
  • AutoOpen macro low OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN
    AutoOpen macro
    Matched line in script
    Sub AutoOpen()
  • Workbook_Open macro low OLE_VBA_WBOPEN
    Workbook_Open macro
    Matched line in script
    Sub Workbook_Open()
  • Auto_Open macro low OLE_VBA_AUTO
    Auto_Open macro
    Matched line in script
    Sub Auto_Open()
  • Environ() call (env variable access) low OLE_VBA_ENVIRON
    Environ() call (env variable access)
    Matched line in script
    Goabc = Environ(sps)
  • 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.
