MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.005 Visual Basic

The OOXML file contains VBA macros and an external relationship pointing to a remote XLS file, indicating an attempt to execute code from an untrusted source. The presence of hidden worksheets further suggests an effort to conceal malicious activity. The VBA code appears to interact with an external add-in ('DuthauGXD.xla'), likely to download and execute a secondary payload.

Heuristics 3

  • External relationship high OOXML_EXTERNAL_REL
    External target in xl/externalLinks/_rels/externalLink1.xml.rels: file:///\\Nu2ng\Nu2nG\Nu2nG\NISSAN BSD Tender\NISSAN BSD PI\BQ_TIMAHR1.xls
  • VBA project inside OOXML medium OOXML_VBA
    Document contains a VBA project — VBA macros present
  • Hidden worksheet (hidden) low OOXML_HIDDEN_SHEET
    Excel workbook contains 31 hidden sheet(s) — hidden sheets are commonly used to conceal macro code, staging data, or intermediate payload construction
