MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is an Excel document containing a Workbook_Open macro, indicating it's designed to execute code upon opening. The presence of a Workbook_Open and Auto_Close macro, along with a high heuristic score for VBA macros, strongly suggests malicious intent. The embedded URL is likely used to download and execute a second-stage payload. The document body content appears to be test data for scripts, which is not directly indicative of the malicious payload's purpose but supports the macro-based execution vector.

Heuristics 4

  • Workbook_Open macro high OLE_VBA_WBOPEN
    Workbook_Open macro
  • Auto_Close macro high OLE_VBA_AUTOCLOSE
    Auto_Close 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.
