Xls.Trojan.Jin-1 · confidence 95%

MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample is an Excel spreadsheet containing VBA macros, specifically an Auto_Open macro. This macro is designed to infect other open workbooks by copying its own sheets into them and then saving the infected workbook with the original name, effectively overwriting it. The ClamAV detection of 'Xls.Trojan.Jin-1' further supports its malicious nature. The VBA code attempts to hide its actions by manipulating application settings and worksheet visibility.
