The file is an encrypted Excel 4.0 macro sheet, indicated by multiple high-severity heuristic firings. The presence of an 'AUTOOPEN' macro suggests it is designed to execute automatically upon opening. The document body is unreadable, but the heuristics strongly point to a malicious macro-based execution. Without readable script content or further network indicators, the exact payload and family remain unknown.
Heuristics 3
-
Encrypted Excel 4.0 macro sheet high OLE_XLM_ENCRYPTED_MACROSHEETWorkbook contains an Excel 4.0 macro sheet and BIFF FILEPASS encryption. Password-protected XLM macro sheets, especially the default Excel password path, are a common malware evasion pattern because static formula extraction may fail until the workbook is decrypted.
-
OLE metadata lists many Excel 4.0 macro sheets high OLE_XLM_DOCPROPS_MACROSHEET_INVENTORYWorkbook contains a BIFF Excel 4.0 macro-sheet marker and its clear OLE DocumentSummaryInformation stream lists many MacroN sheet titles. This is a useful static signal when FILEPASS encryption prevents formula extraction from the workbook stream.
-
Excel 4.0 (XLM) macro sheet present medium OLE_XLM_AUTOOPENWorkbook 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.
