MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The critical heuristic firing indicates this is a legacy Excel formula macro virus, specifically identified as 'Classic.Poppy by VicodinES' and associated with 'The Narkotic Network 1998'. The document body contains strings related to infecting other workbooks and saving them as 'Book1.xls', suggesting a mechanism for propagation and potential payload delivery. The presence of VBA-related heuristics points to the use of Visual Basic for scripting.
