T1059.005 Visual Basic
T1204.002 Malicious File
T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer
The file contains critical heuristic firings indicating the presence of Excel 4.0 macros, including dangerous API calls like FORMULA, which are used to download payloads. The macros construct URLs such as "http://daferton.top/30fdh3fdh/update.dll" to fetch a second-stage payload. This indicates a downloader functionality, likely leading to further infection.
Heuristics 6
-
Excel 4.0 macro sheet (8 sheet(s)) critical OOXML_XLM_MACROSHEETSpreadsheet contains an Excel 4.0 (XLM) macro sheet — XLM was a major Office malware vector during 2020-2022 and evaded many VBA-focused controls before Microsoft tightened XLM defaults. Even legitimate XLM use is rare in modern workbooks.
-
Excel 4.0 Auto_Open defined name critical OOXML_XLM_AUTOOPEN_DEFINEDNAMEWorkbook defines _xlnm.Auto_Open or _xlnm.Auto_Close while containing an XLM macro sheet. This is the OOXML/XLSB auto-execution shape for Excel 4.0 macros.
-
Dangerous XLM formula APIs: FORMULA critical OOXML_XLM_DANGEROUS_FNExcel 4.0 macro sheet uses formula APIs that call directly into Win32 (=CALL/=EXEC/=REGISTER/=FORMULA). These are the primitives used to download payloads, write files, and start processes from an XLM macro without invoking VBA.
-
ClamAV: Xls.Downloader.GreenOffice01223-9937701-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Xls.Downloader.GreenOffice01223-9937701-0
-
Hidden worksheet (hidden) low OOXML_HIDDEN_SHEETExcel workbook contains 11 hidden sheet(s) — hidden sheets are commonly used to conceal macro code, staging data, or intermediate payload construction
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne 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.URL http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/spreadsheetml/2006/main
