T1059.005 Visual Basic
T1204.002 Malicious File
The presence of Excel 4.0 macros (OLE_XLM_AUTOOPEN) indicates a malicious intent to execute code. The macros contain strings that appear to be part of a download and execution chain, referencing URLs like 'covidisaconjob.com.au/P0EpnHrO/key.html' and 'germiterra.com/oNIKvRp9a/key.html' which are likely sources for a second-stage payload. The extracted strings like 'CALL EXEC', 'LoadT', 'Fil', 'dll', 'Regi', 'ster', and 'Server' further suggest the macro's functionality involves loading and registering a file, likely a malicious executable.
Heuristics 3
-
Excel 4.0 (XLM) macro sheet uses dangerous capability functions high OLE_XLM_DANGEROUS_FN_STATICWorkbook contains an Excel 4.0 macro sheet whose formulas reference two or more dangerous capability functions (e.g. CALL into a Win32 API such as URLDownloadToFile, EXEC to launch a process, REGISTER an external DLL procedure, or FWRITE/FOPEN to drop a file) with an Auto_Open / Auto_Close auto-execution name. This is the canonical XLM downloader/dropper shape and is recovered directly from the BIFF records, so it fires even when the full macro chain cannot be deobfuscated.

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.
