Malicious Office (OOXML) / .DOCX — malware analysis report

Heuristics 10

• ClamAV: Doc.Dropper.Agent-6412232-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
  ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Dropper.Agent-6412232-1
• VBA project inside OOXML medium 7 related findings OOXML_VBA
  Document contains a VBA project — VBA macros present
• Potential Shell call in VBA critical OLE_VBA_SHELL
  Potential Shell call in VBA
  Matched line in script

      Dim shell As Object

• WScript.Shell usage critical OLE_VBA_WSCRIPT
  WScript.Shell usage
  Matched line in script

      Set shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

• PowerShell reference in VBA critical OLE_VBA_PS
  PowerShell reference in VBA
  Matched line in script

      psCommand = "powershell.exe -Command ""Get-WmiObject -Query 'SELECT * FROM Win32_Process' | ForEach-Object { $_.ProcessName + ' ' + $_.ProcessId + ' ' + $_.ExecutablePath } | Out-String | ForEach-Object { [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($_)) }"""

• VBA downloads and writes a file to disk critical OLE_VBA_HTTP_DROP_EXEC
  VBA 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.

      adoStream.Write xmlHTTP.ResponseBody

• CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
  CreateObject call
  Matched line in script

      Set shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

• VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC
  Triggers on the COMBINATION of two tokens co-occurring in the same compiled VBA/cache stream: an auto-execution entry point (Auto_Open / AutoOpen / Document_Open / Workbook_Open / Auto_Close / AutoClose) AND a shell/download/object-execution token (Shell, CreateObject, GetObject, PowerShell, cmd.exe, URLDownloadToFile, WinHttp, XMLHTTP, ADODB.Stream, ShellExecute, ExecuteExcel4Macro). Neither token alone fires it — it is the pairing that flags p-code-only or source-extraction-failure macro documents where the visible VBA source is unavailable. The matched tokens are named in the detail line below.
• Document_Open macro low OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN
  Document_Open macro
  Matched line in script

  Private Sub Document_Open()

• 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.
