MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications
T1204.002 Malicious File
The sample is an Excel 4.0 macro sheet with an Auto_Open macro, designed to execute automatically when the workbook is opened. It uses a lure to trick the user into enabling macros, impersonating a document signing service. The macro sheet contains references to `rundll32`, `DllRegisterServer`, `uRlMon`, and `RLDownloadToFileA`, indicating an attempt to download and execute a payload from one of the provided URLs. The presence of an Auto_Open macro and the lure strongly suggest a malicious downloader.
