Tampering With Digitally Signed VBA Projects

Filed under: maldoc — Didier Stevens @ 0:00

As I explained in blog post VBA Purging, VBA code contained in Module Streams is made up of compiled code (PerformanceCache) and source code (CompressedSourceCode).

If you alter the compiled code (PerformanceCache) properly and leave the source code (CompressedSourceCode) of a signed VBA project untouched, you can change the behavior of a signed document without invalidating the signature. That’s because the code signing algorithm for VBA projects does not take the PerformanceCache into account.
