MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is identified as a legacy Excel formula macro virus, specifically 'XF.Classic' by 'VicodinES' and 'Poppy'. The document body contains text that appears to be a fake pharmaceutical advertisement for 'Hydrocodone/APAP 10-650' and mentions infecting other workbooks, suggesting a delivery mechanism for malicious content. The presence of the 'OLE_XLS_FORMULA_MACRO_VIRUS' heuristic firing strongly supports this assessment.
