MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is identified as a malicious Excel 5 macro-virus, specifically the Laroux family, by multiple critical heuristics. The Auto_Open macro is configured to execute the 'big_dork' subroutine upon opening, which is designed to copy the 'WENDY' sheet and save it as 'SING.XLS' in the startup path, indicating a payload delivery or persistence mechanism.

Heuristics 5

    Legacy Excel workbook contains a Laroux/Larou-CV macro-virus marker cluster including auto_open execution and workbook/module replication strings. This is a narrow indicator for an infected legacy Excel macro workbook.
  • ClamAV: Xls.Trojan.Laroux-29 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Xls.Trojan.Laroux-29
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
