Analysis Summary
Researchers detected malicious Excel documents in July 2020 that are able to deliver malware through VBA-activated spreadsheets. Unlike most malicious excel documents, these particular samples were created using EPPlus software. It is believed the campaign is being carried out by a single threat actor based on the number of samples provided to services such as VirusTotal. Additionally, delivery of payloads supports this theory. The lack of Office metadata led researchers to conclude the files were created in EPPlus as well as the uncompiled code contained within the spreadsheets. All of the sample maldocs contain a password protected VBA project. Efforts to recover the passwords were unsuccessful. A handful of samples were obtained and it was determined the VBA code will use either PowerShell or ActiveX to download the payload. These payloads are hosted on various websites. There is a common pattern to the second stage downloader. The stage 2 EXE loads a DLL. This DLL extracts and decodes steganography encoded images from the EXE. Finally, the DLL loads the stage 3 EXE. This is the final payload. These final stages included such malware as AgentTesla, Azorult, Formbook, Matiex, and njRAT. There does not appear to be a pattern in the targeting of victims.
