MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File T1059.005 Visual Basic

The VBA macro within the document is configured to execute automatically upon opening (Document_Open). It constructs a file path 'C:\Users\Public\apersonem.b' and writes a PowerShell command to it. This command uses Start-BitsTransfer to download 'Unosvpn.exe' from 'https://ramail.x24hr.com/s/Unosvpn.exe' to 'C:\Users\Public\Documents\largevote.exe', and then executes the downloaded file. The ShellExecuteW API is used to open the constructed file, initiating the payload execution.

Heuristics 5

  • Reference to ShellExecute API high SC_STR_SHELLEXEC
    Reference to ShellExecute API
  • Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
    Document_Open macro
  • 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
  • Suspicious extracted artifact medium 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.
