MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

This XLS file contains VBA macros, specifically an Auto_Open macro, which is a common technique for initiating malicious execution upon opening the document. The macro likely attempts to download and execute a payload from the URL https://evaways.com/setup.msi. The presence of an Auto_Open macro and an embedded URL strongly suggests a malicious intent to compromise the user's system.

    Auto_Open macro
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One 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://evaways.com/setup.msi
