MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is an Excel spreadsheet containing a VBA macro that is automatically executed upon opening (Auto_Open). This macro calls the DllInstall function with the argument 'https://relaxedview.com/file/Excel.sct', indicating an intent to download and execute a payload from this URL. The presence of an Auto_Open macro and an embedded URL strongly suggests a malicious document designed for initial payload delivery.

Heuristics 3

  • Auto_Open macro high OLE_VBA_AUTO
    Auto_Open macro
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
    URL https://relaxedview.com/file/Excel.sct$
