MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample is an Excel document containing VBA macros, including an Auto_Open macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code. The presence of an external relationship pointing to a local file path suggests a potential attempt to leverage local resources or a specific environment. The document body contains what appears to be construction or project-related text, which could be a lure.

Heuristics 4

  • External relationship high OOXML_EXTERNAL_REL
    External target in xl/externalLinks/_rels/externalLink6.xml.rels: file:///\\Mayban\scan\CONG TY 873\0.THAI SON LONG AN _ GD1\11.Form\BBNT - auto.xlsm
  • VBA project inside OOXML medium 1 related finding OOXML_VBA
    Document contains a VBA project — VBA macros present
  • Auto_Open macro high OLE_VBA_AUTO
    Auto_Open macro
  • Hidden worksheet (veryHidden) low OOXML_HIDDEN_SHEET
    Excel workbook contains 1 hidden sheet(s) — hidden sheets are commonly used to conceal macro code, staging data, or intermediate payload construction
