MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.005 Visual Basic

The document contains VBA macros, indicated by the OOXML_VBA heuristic. The presence of invoice-related language in the document body, combined with the OOXML_EXTERNAL_REL heuristic pointing to a local file path, suggests a social engineering lure. The high-severity EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE heuristic further confirms the presence of suspicious VBA code. The primary attack vector appears to be the execution of malicious VBA macros disguised as an invoice.

Heuristics 4

  • External relationship high OOXML_EXTERNAL_REL
    External target in xl/externalLinks/_rels/externalLink2.xml.rels: file:///\\Sskim\최종선적현황\7-9BUY\HS VINA 7-9BUY 최종선적분.xls
  • Suspicious extracted artifact high 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.
  • VBA project inside OOXML medium OOXML_VBA
    Document contains vbaProject.bin — VBA macros present
  • Fake invoice / payment lure low SE_INVOICE_LURE
    Document contains invoice or payment language paired with an action verb — useful context when combined with link, macro, or attachment indicators
