Malicious Office (OLE) — malware analysis report

Heuristics 4

• XLM Auto_Open workbook with payload URL or enable-content lure critical OLE_XLM_AUTOOPEN_PAYLOAD_LURE
  Workbook contains an Excel 4.0 macro sheet with Auto_Open / Auto_Close and also exposes a payload URL or enable-content lure in the OLE bytes. This combination is a high-confidence XLM downloader/social-engineering pattern even when formula recovery cannot decode the full macro chain.

  Document instructs the user to enable macros or editing — a common technique used by malware droppers to bypass Office macro security settings
• Document signing service impersonation lure medium SE_DOCUSIGN_LURE
  Document impersonates DocuSign, Adobe Sign, or a similar signing service in a signing-request context
