T1059.005 Visual Basic
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
The file contains critical heuristics indicating the presence of Excel 4.0 macros, including dangerous functions like FORMULA, WORKBOOK.HIDE, and HALT. These functions are used to execute arbitrary code, likely to download and run a second-stage payload from the provided URLs. The macro sheet explicitly calls the EXEC function with URLs pointing to potentially malicious content.
Heuristics 4
-
Excel 4.0 macro sheet (1 sheet(s)) critical 2 related findings OOXML_XLM_MACROSHEETSpreadsheet 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.
-
Excel 4.0 Auto_Open defined name critical OOXML_XLM_AUTOOPEN_DEFINEDNAMEWorkbook defines _xlnm.Auto_Open or _xlnm.Auto_Close while containing an XLM macro sheet. This is the OOXML/XLSB auto-execution shape for Excel 4.0 macros.
-
Dangerous XLM formula APIs: FORMULA, WORKBOOK.HIDE, HALT critical OOXML_XLM_DANGEROUS_FNExcel 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.
