T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications
T1204.002 Malicious File
The sample is an Excel 4.0 macro-enabled spreadsheet that uses an Auto_Open macro to execute. It contains heuristics indicating a macro-enable lure, instructing the user to enable content. The embedded URLs are likely used to download and execute a second-stage payload. The XLM macros are too truncated to fully analyze their specific actions, but the presence of Auto_Open and the lure strongly suggest a downloader or droppper functionality.
Heuristics 4
-
Excel 4.0 Auto_Open defined name critical OLE_XLM_AUTOOPEN_DEFINEDNAMEoletools recovered an Auto_Open / Auto_Close entry from an Excel 4.0 macro sheet. The raw BIFF name can be tokenized or partially opaque to byte-string checks, but the recovered macro listing confirms the workbook has an XLM auto-execution entry.
-
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.
-
Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LUREDocument instructs the user to enable macros or editing — a common technique used by malware droppers to bypass Office macro security settings
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne 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.URL https://signifysystem.com/ceg7AX7oN0o/ue.html
