MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1137.006 Office Application Build Process

The file is an Excel spreadsheet that uses a fake invoice lure to entice users. It contains embedded OLE objects, which are often used to deliver malicious payloads. The external relationship points to a UNC path, suggesting a potential internal network compromise vector or a lure document hosted on a network share.

Heuristics 5

  • External relationship high OOXML_EXTERNAL_REL
    External target in xl/externalLinks/_rels/externalLink1.xml.rels: file:///\\Renqian\资料2\工作资料\工作资料\运仰光面辅料\宁波至仰光\2019\01.30\报关单据-1.30yorkoverseas 远东.xlsx
  • Embedded OLE object medium OOXML_OLE_OBJECT
    Document contains an embedded OLE object
  • Hidden worksheet (hidden) low OOXML_HIDDEN_SHEET
    Excel workbook contains 1 hidden sheet(s) — hidden sheets are commonly used to conceal macro code, staging data, or intermediate payload construction
  • Fake invoice / payment lure low SE_INVOICE_LURE
    Document contains invoice or payment language paired with an action verb — useful context when combined with link, macro, or attachment indicators
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info 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.

Extracted artifacts 8
