MITRE ATT&CK
T1218.011 System Binary Proxy Execution: Rundll32

The file was detected as Xls.Downloader.TrendMicroDridex0521-9860965-0 by ClamAV, indicating a downloader family. The document body contains strings like 'Wscript.Shell' and 'rundll32.exe' which, combined with the embedded URLs, suggest the file's purpose is to download and execute a second-stage payload from a remote server. The presence of these indicators strongly points towards a malicious downloader.

Heuristics 3

  • ClamAV: Xls.Downloader.TrendMicroDridex0521-9860965-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Xls.Downloader.TrendMicroDridex0521-9860965-0
  • LOLBin token sequence in document text high SE_LOLBIN_RUN_COMMAND
    Extracted document text contains a Windows script/execution tool name (PowerShell, mshta, cmd, rundll32, regsvr32, …) within 220 characters of a dangerous flag, command verb, or URL. This is a visible 'run this' instruction in HTML/PDF/RTF lure bodies, or — in macro-laden Office files — the macro's own string-pool entries appearing adjacent in extracted text.
  • 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.
