MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Service Execution: Visual Basic T1566.001 Phishing: Spearphishing Attachment

The critical heuristics indicate the presence of legacy Excel 4.0 macros and a known malware marker ('Win.Trojan.Classic-1'). The document body contains financial-like data, suggesting a potential lure for financial information theft or manipulation. The macro sheet marker and ClamAV detection strongly point to malicious intent.

Heuristics 3

  • Legacy Excel formula macro virus marker critical OLE_XLS_FORMULA_MACRO_VIRUS
    Workbook stream contains self-identifying legacy Excel formula macro virus markers. This indicates the document carries formula macro virus content even when no VBA project or modern XLM macro-sheet structure is present.
  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Classic-1 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Classic-1
  • Excel 4.0 (XLM) macro sheet present medium OLE_XLM_AUTOOPEN
    Workbook 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.
