MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The critical heuristic firing indicates the presence of a legacy Excel Formula Macro Virus, specifically mentioning 'Poppy by VicodinES' and 'Narkotic Network'. The document body contains what appears to be educational task data, likely a lure. The presence of XLM macros suggests an attempt to infect other workbooks or execute arbitrary code, potentially delivering a secondary payload.

Heuristics 2

  • Legacy Excel formula macro virus marker critical OLE_XLS_FORMULA_MACRO_VIRUS
    Workbook stream contains self-identifying legacy Excel formula macro virus markers. This indicates the document carries formula macro virus content even when no VBA project or modern XLM macro-sheet structure is present.
  • Excel 4.0 (XLM) macro sheet present medium OLE_XLM_AUTOOPEN
    Workbook contains an Excel 4.0 macro sheet sub-stream — XLM is rarely seen in modern legitimate workbooks and was a major Office malware vector during 2020-2022.
