    Here is the YARA rule I used to detect "Orphaned VBA Projects Inside DWG Files".

    rule autocad_orphaned_vba_project {
        strings: $a = "AC10"
                 $b = {D0 CF 11 E0 A1 B1 1A E1}
                 $c = "[Host Extender Info]" ascii
     
        condition: $a at 0 and uint32(0x24) == 0 and $b and $c
    }

     

    A VirusTotal retrohunt with this rule gave me only 2 detections:
