T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications
T1204.002 Malicious File
The sample is an Excel 4.0 (XLM) macro-enabled spreadsheet. It contains an Auto_Open defined name, indicating that macros will execute automatically upon opening. The presence of a macro-enable lure suggests the document is designed to bypass security warnings and execute its payload. The extracted URLs are likely used to download and execute a second-stage payload.
Heuristics 4
-
Excel 4.0 Auto_Open defined name critical OLE_XLM_AUTOOPEN_DEFINEDNAMEoletools recovered an Auto_Open / Auto_Close entry from an Excel 4.0 macro sheet.

-
Excel 4.0 (XLM) macro sheet present medium OLE_XLM_AUTOOPENWorkbook contains an Excel 4.0 macro sheet sub-stream — XLM is rarely seen in modern legitimate workbooks and was a major Office malware vector during 2020-2022.
-
Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LUREDocument instructs the user to enable macros or editing — a common technique used by malware droppers to bypass Office macro security settings
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — context-specific rules above attribute URLs they actually evaluated; this rule lists URLs that were present in the bytes but were not otherwise tied to a specific finding.URL https://caiogabriel.com.br/tOKLlSLW/lena.html
