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

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Xls.Trojan.Uedasan-1. Static analysis detected VBA macros, specifically an Auto_Open macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening the document. The presence of VBA macros and the Auto_Open function suggests the file is designed to run arbitrary code, likely for further payload delivery or system compromise.

Heuristics 5

  • Excel 5 Laroux/Larou-CV macro-virus marker cluster critical OLE_XLS5_LAROUX_MACRO_VIRUS
    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.Uedasan-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Xls.Trojan.Uedasan-1
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
  • Auto_Open macro high OLE_VBA_AUTO
    Auto_Open macro
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
