MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample is an Excel spreadsheet containing VBA macros. The 'SE_ENABLE_LURE' heuristic indicates the document likely prompts the user to enable macros. The 'Auto_Open' macro uses the ScriptControl object to execute code embedded in the document's 'Subject' and 'Comments' properties. This suggests a macro-based execution flow designed to download and run a second-stage payload.
