DESCRIPTION

This plugin detects OLE Macros or other exploits inside Office documents attached to emails. It can detect documents inside zip files as well as encrypted documents.

REQUIREMENT

This plugin requires Archive::Zip and IO::String perl modules.

USER PREFERENCES

The following options can be used in both site-wide (local.cf) and user-specific (user_prefs) configuration files to customize how the module handles attached documents

olemacro_num_mime (default: 5)

Configure the maximum number of matching MIME parts (attachments) the plugin will scan.

olemacro_num_zip (default: 8)

Configure the maximum number of matching files inside the zip to scan. To disable zip scanning, set 0.

olemacro_zip_depth (default: 2)

Depth to recurse within zip files.

olemacro_extended_scan ( 0 | 1 ) (default: 0)

Scan all files for potential office files and/or macros, the olemacro_skip_exts parameter will still be honored. This parameter is off by default, this option is needed only to run eval:check_olemacro_renamed rule. If this is turned on consider adjusting values for olemacro_num_mime and olemacro_num_zip and prepare for more CPU overhead.

olemacro_prefer_contentdisposition ( 0 | 1 ) (default: 1)

Choose if the content-disposition header filename be preferred if ambiguity is encountered whilst trying to get filename.

olemacro_max_file (default: 1024000)

Limit the amount of bytes that the plugin will decode and scan from the MIME objects (attachments).

olemacro_exts (default: (?:doc|docx|dot|pot|ppa|pps|ppt|rtf|sldm|xl|xla|xls|xlsx|xlt|xltx|xslb)$)

Set the case-insensitive regexp used to configure the extensions the plugin targets for macro scanning.

olemacro_macro_exts (default: (?:docm|dotm|ppam|potm|ppst|ppsm|pptm|sldm|xlm|xlam|xlsb|xlsm|xltm|xps)$)

Set the case-insensitive regexp used to configure the extensions the plugin treats as containing a macro.

olemacro_skip_exts (default: (?:dotx|potx|ppsx|pptx|sldx)$)

Set the case-insensitive regexp used to configure extensions for the plugin to skip entirely, these should only be guaranteed macro free files.

olemacro_skip_ctypes (default: ^(?:text\/))

Set the case-insensitive regexp used to configure content types for the plugin to skip entirely, these should only be guaranteed macro free.

olemacro_zips (default: (?:zip)$)

Set the case-insensitive regexp used to configure extensions for the plugin to target as zip files, files listed in configs above are also tested for zip.

olemacro_download_marker (default: (?:cmd(?:\.exe)? \/c ms\^h\^ta ht\^tps?:\/\^\/))

Set the case-insensitive regexp used to match the script used to download files from the Office document.
