MITRE ATT&CK
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 macro that uses dangerous API functions, specifically the RUN function, indicating it's designed to execute arbitrary code. The document body contains text that appears to be obfuscated instructions or data related to downloading a file from the embedded URL. The presence of the 'SE_ENABLE_LURE' heuristic confirms that the document likely instructs the user to enable macros, a common social engineering tactic.
