MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.005 Visual Basic T1140 Deobfuscate/Decode Files or Information

The sample is an XLSM file containing a Workbook_Open macro. This macro triggers a user form named 'Giris' which prompts for student details like name, school number, and scores. The presence of the Workbook_Open event and the user form suggests an attempt to interact with the user, potentially for credential harvesting or social engineering. No malicious URLs or further payloads were identified in the provided evidence.

Heuristics 3

  • Workbook_Open macro high OLE_VBA_WBOPEN
    Workbook_Open macro
  • VBA project inside OOXML medium OOXML_VBA
    Document contains vbaProject.bin — VBA macros present
  • 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.
