MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The OOXML file contains a clickable image designed as a phishing lure, directing users to an external form. This technique, combined with the presence of external hyperlinks, strongly suggests an attempt to collect user credentials or other sensitive information. No VBA macros were extracted, but the structure indicates a phishing attempt via a malicious attachment.

Heuristics 3

  • OOXML clickable image phishing/form lure critical OOXML_CLICKABLE_IMAGE_FORM_LURE
    Workbook uses a large embedded image as the visible document body and attaches a click-through external hyperlink to that image. The target is a form/collection service or the drawing contains download/view lure text, which is a common credential or document-phishing pattern rather than benign workbook data.
  • External hyperlinks (1) low OOXML_EXTERNAL_HYPERLINKS
    Document contains 1 external hyperlink — clickable URLs are stored as external relationships. First target: https://elcxehvf65f.typeform.com/to/IRztKoFx
  • 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.
