T1059.005 Visual Basic
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
The sample is an Excel file containing VBA macros. The macros construct a string and use CreateObject to call ShellExecute, which is a high-severity heuristic firing. The function qkXSn constructs a string that starts with 'P' and concatenates it with a variable 'n1' which is derived from cell values. This string is then passed as the first argument to ShellExecute, indicating an attempt to execute a command. The function cTNQhWD reverses a string, suggesting obfuscation.
