MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The presence of VBA macros and a GetObject call indicates malicious intent. The macros are 1826 bytes in size, suggesting they are substantial enough to perform complex actions. While no specific URLs were extracted as malicious, the GetObject call is a common technique for executing arbitrary code. The file is an Excel spreadsheet, a common format for macro-based malware delivery.

Heuristics 3

  • GetObject call high OLE_VBA_GETOBJ
    GetObject call
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • 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.
