MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
The file contains VBA macros, including a Document_Open macro designed to execute automatically when the document is opened. This macro attempts to add custom menus and show forms, suggesting an attempt to interact with the user or prepare for further malicious actions. The presence of embedded URLs, though seemingly benign, indicates potential external communication or resource loading.
Heuristics 4
-
Document_Open macro high OLE_VBA_DOCOPENDocument_Open macro
-
VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROSDocument contains VBA macro code
-
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://www.cpearson.com/excel/VbeMenus.aspxm

Macro capabilities present but unconfirmed info MACRO_CAPABILITY_UNCORROBORATEDThe document's VBA exposes execution capabilities (Shell/WScript/CreateObject/auto-exec) but nothing corroborates malicious intent — no obfuscation, memory-exec primitive, download+exec chain, encoded payload, LOLBin, DDE, AV hit, or suspicious URL. The verdict was capped at 'suspicious' so legitimate macro-heavy business documents are not flagged malicious on capability presence alone.
