T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
The file is an Office document containing encrypted Excel 4.0 macros, indicated by multiple heuristic firings including OLE_XLM_ENCRYPTED_MACROSHEET and OLE_XLM_AUTOOPEN. The presence of encrypted macros strongly suggests an intent to execute malicious code. Since no document body or script content was available for analysis, the specific payload or delivery mechanism cannot be determined.
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.
