MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications
T1204.002 Malicious File
The sample is an Excel 4.0 spreadsheet containing an Auto_Open macro, indicated by the OLE_XLM_AUTOOPEN heuristic. The document body contains text that appears to be an attempt to reconstruct URLs and commands, including 'run dll' and 'loadT wnloadT'. The presence of embedded URLs and the SE_ENABLE_LURE heuristic suggest the document is designed to trick the user into enabling macros to download and execute a malicious payload from one of the provided URLs.
Heuristics 4
