MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment T1059.005 Command and Scripting Interpreter: Visual Basic T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Doc.Downloader.Emotet-10019767-0, indicating it's a known Emotet downloader. The presence of a Workbook_Open macro and CreateObject calls strongly suggests that the macro is designed to execute a secondary payload. While specific URLs were extracted, they were all confirmed as benign, suggesting the malicious payload is likely fetched from a different, unextracted source or dynamically generated.

  • Malformed OOXML package with recoverable local headers low OOXML_MALFORMED_ZIP_LOCAL_HEADERS
    The OOXML ZIP central directory is invalid or missing, but local file headers expose a recoverable Office package. This can create parser divergence between tolerant Office/ZIP readers and scanners that rely only on the central directory.
