MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The sample contains critical Excel 4.0 macros (XLM) that utilize dangerous functions like FORMULA and EXEC, indicating an attempt to download and execute a second-stage payload. The presence of an Auto_Open macro further suggests immediate execution upon opening. The macros likely leverage the embedded URLs to fetch the malicious payload.

Heuristics 6

  • Excel 4.0 macro sheet (3 sheet(s)) critical 1 related finding OOXML_XLM_MACROSHEET
    Spreadsheet contains an Excel 4.0 (XLM) macro sheet — XLM was a major Office malware vector during 2020-2022 and evaded many VBA-focused controls before Microsoft tightened XLM defaults. Even legitimate XLM use is rare in modern workbooks.
  • Dangerous XLM formula APIs: FORMULA, HALT, GOTO, REGISTER, EXEC critical OOXML_XLM_DANGEROUS_FN
    Excel 4.0 macro sheet uses formula APIs that call directly into Win32 (=CALL/=EXEC/=REGISTER/=FORMULA). These are the primitives used to download payloads, write files, and start processes from an XLM macro without invoking VBA.
  • VBA project inside OOXML medium 1 related finding OOXML_VBA
    Document contains a VBA project — VBA macros present
  • Auto_Open macro high OLE_VBA_AUTO
    Auto_Open macro
  • Hidden worksheet (hidden) low OOXML_HIDDEN_SHEET
    Excel workbook contains 3 hidden sheet(s) — hidden sheets are commonly used to conceal macro code, staging data, or intermediate payload construction
  • 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.
