MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The sample is an Excel file that uses a social engineering lure, claiming a newer version of Microsoft Office is required to view content, prompting the user to enable macros. The critical heuristic indicates an OLE package that drops an auto-executable payload named 'http185.39.149.119zxrssidin.exe.vbs', suggesting it downloads and executes a second-stage malware. The reference to Windows Script Host further supports the execution of a script.

Heuristics 3

  • Ole10Native package drops an auto-executable payload critical OFFICE_PACKAGE_RISKY_FILE
    OLE Package displayName or fullPath ends in a directly auto-executable extension (a runnable binary or a script the default shell host runs on double-click). Embedding such a payload inside an Office document has no benign authoring use — it is a malware-delivery dropper.
  • Reference to Windows Script Host high SC_STR_WSCRIPT
    Reference to Windows Script Host
  • Suspicious extracted artifact high EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
