MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.005 Visual Basic T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The file is an Excel document containing VBA macros, indicated by the OLE_VBA_MACROS heuristic. The SE_INVOICE_LURE heuristic suggests a fake invoice pretext for user interaction. The OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ heuristic points to the execution of VBA code, likely to download and execute a secondary payload, aligning with the Ingress Tool Transfer technique. No specific family could be identified.

Heuristics 4

  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Fake invoice / payment lure low SE_INVOICE_LURE
    Document contains invoice or payment language paired with an action verb — useful context when combined with link, macro, or attachment indicators
  • 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.
