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

The sample is an Excel document containing VBA macros, identified as malicious. The document body lists various telecommunications equipment, suggesting a lure to disguise the malicious intent. The VBA macro code, though partially truncated, contains obfuscated Base64 encoded data and uses Windows API calls for file operations, indicating it likely downloads and executes a second-stage payload. The embedded URL 'http://www.gzwesun.com' is a potential indicator of compromise.

Heuristics 5

  • Heap-spray pattern detected high SC_HEAP_SPRAY

  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info 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.
  • 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.
