MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample is an Excel document containing a Workbook_Open macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening. The macro uses CreateObject, indicating it likely attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload from one of the provided URLs. The document body text explicitly directs the user to 'VIEW OR PRINT', further encouraging interaction with the malicious content.

Heuristics 6

  • Workbook_Open macro high OLE_VBA_WBOPEN
    Workbook_Open macro
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • Suspicious extracted artifact high EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
  • VBA project inside OOXML medium OOXML_VBA
    Document contains vbaProject.bin — VBA macros present
  • Environ() call (env variable access) low OLE_VBA_ENVIRON
    Environ() call (env variable access)
  • 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.
