The sample is an OOXML document that contains a lure to enable editing and macros, a common technique for malware droppers. The document body presents a fake supplier appraisal form in multiple languages, suggesting an attempt to trick a wide range of users. No specific malware family could be identified, and no executable content or network indicators were extracted.

Heuristics 2

    Spreadsheet declares an OLE object relationship and an oleObject element, but the target embedded OLE package part is absent from the ZIP. With autoLoad and VML shape context this is a payload-stripped or malformed OLE activation carrier, not an ordinary external hyperlink.
  • Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LURE
    Document instructs the user to enable macros or editing — a common technique used by malware droppers to bypass Office macro security settings
