T1059.005 Visual Basic
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
This Excel document contains critical Excel 4.0 macros (XLM) that utilize dangerous functions like CALL and EXEC to download and execute a second-stage payload. The Auto_Open VBA macro further orchestrates the execution of these XLM macros. The embedded URLs are highly suspicious and likely serve as the source for the payload. The use of XLM macros for payload delivery is a common technique for older malware or custom loaders.
Heuristics 6
-
Excel 4.0 macro sheet (3 sheet(s)) critical 1 related finding OOXML_XLM_MACROSHEETSpreadsheet contains an Excel 4.0 (XLM) macro sheet — XLM was a major Office malware vector during 2020-2022 and evaded many VBA-focused controls before Microsoft tightened XLM defaults. Even legitimate XLM use is rare in modern workbooks.
-
Dangerous XLM formula APIs: HALT, GOTO, REGISTER, EXEC critical OOXML_XLM_DANGEROUS_FNExcel 4.0 macro sheet uses formula APIs that call directly into Win32 (=CALL/=EXEC/=REGISTER/=FORMULA). These are the primitives used to download payloads, write files, and start processes from an XLM macro without invoking VBA.
-
VBA project inside OOXML medium 1 related finding OOXML_VBADocument contains a VBA project — VBA macros present
-
Auto_Open macro low OLE_VBA_AUTOAuto_Open macroMatched line in script

Hidden worksheet (hidden) low OOXML_HIDDEN_SHEETExcel workbook contains 3 hidden sheet(s) — hidden sheets are commonly used to conceal macro code, staging data, or intermediate payload construction
