MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The critical heuristic firing indicates this is a legacy Excel formula macro virus, specifically identified as 'Poppy' by VicodinES and 'Narkotic Network'. The document body contains references to infecting new workbooks and saving them in the XLSTART directory, suggesting a mechanism for persistence and spread. The presence of formula macro virus markers and the file's structure strongly support its classification as a malicious macro-based threat.
