MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is an Excel spreadsheet containing a legacy Excel formula macro virus marker, specifically identifying it as 'Poppy by VicodinES'. While the VBA project itself contains no executable statements, the presence of the formula macro virus marker indicates a high likelihood of malicious intent, likely to execute arbitrary code or download further payloads. The document body contains what appears to be financial or organizational data, potentially used as a lure.

Heuristics 2

  • Legacy Excel formula macro virus marker critical OLE_XLS_FORMULA_MACRO_VIRUS
    Workbook stream contains self-identifying legacy Excel formula macro virus markers. This indicates the document carries formula macro virus content even when no VBA project or modern XLM macro-sheet structure is present.
  • VBA project contains no executable statements low OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains a VBA project, but extracted modules only contain attributes/options/comments and no executable statements.
