The sample is an XLS file containing VBA macros. The high-severity heuristic for GetObject indicates a potential for arbitrary code execution. The VBA code is heavily obfuscated but appears to construct URLs and then execute them, likely to download and run a second-stage payload. The specific URLs identified are the primary indicators of compromise.

Heuristics 2

  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject call
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
