The file is an Excel spreadsheet containing VBA macros. A high-severity heuristic detected a GetObject call, which is often used to execute arbitrary code. The macros themselves are heavily obfuscated, but the presence of a GetObject call and the general structure suggest the intent is to download and execute a second-stage payload. No specific family could be identified.

  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
