Microsoft menonaktifkan makro Excel 4.0 secara default untuk memblokir malware

January 24, 2022 by Eevee

Microsoft telah mengumumkan bahwa makro Excel 4.0 (XLM) sekarang akan dinonaktifkan secara default untuk melindungi pelanggan dari dokumen berbahaya. Perusahaan mengungkapkan akan menonaktifkan makro XLM di semua penyewa jika pengguna atau admin tidak mengaktifkan atau menonaktifkan fitur secara manual.

Mulai Juli 2021, admin Windows juga dapat menggunakan kebijakan grup dan pengguna pengaturan ‘Aktifkan makro XLM saat makro VBA diaktifkan’ dari Pusat Kepercayaan Excel untuk menonaktifkan fitur ini secara manual.

Admin dapat mengonfigurasi bagaimana makro Excel diizinkan untuk berjalan menggunakan pengaturan Kebijakan Grup, kebijakan Cloud, dan kebijakan ADMX.

Mereka juga dapat memblokir semua penggunaan makro XLM Excel di lingkungan mereka (termasuk file baru yang dibuat pengguna) dengan mengaktifkan Kebijakan Grup “Cegah Excel menjalankan makro XLM”, yang dapat dikonfigurasi melalui Editor Kebijakan Grup atau kunci registri.

Dokumen XLS dengan makro Excel 4.0 yang dikaburkan

Makro XLM (alias Excel 4.0) adalah format makro Excel default hingga Excel 5.0 dirilis pada tahun 1993 ketika Microsoft pertama kali memperkenalkan makro VBA yang masih merupakan format default.

Namun, meskipun dihentikan, pelaku ancaman masih menggunakan XLM tiga dekade kemudian untuk membuat dokumen yang menyebarkan malware atau melakukan perilaku berbahaya lainnya yang memanipulasi file di sistem file lokal karena versi Microsoft Office saat ini masih mendukung makro XLM.

Kampanye berbahaya yang menggunakan makro jenis ini untuk mendorong malware telah diamati dengan mengunduh dan menginstal TrickBot, Zloader, Qbot, Dridex, dan banyak jenis lainnya di komputer korban.

Microsoft juga diam-diam menambahkan Kebijakan Grup pada Oktober 2019 yang memungkinkan admin memblokir pengguna Excel dari membuka file Microsoft Query yang tidak tepercaya (dan berpotensi berbahaya) dengan ekstensi IQY, OQY, DQY, dan RQY.

File-file tersebut telah dipersenjatai dalam berbagai serangan berbahaya untuk mengirimkan Trojan akses jarak jauh dan pemuat malware sejak awal 2018.
