T1059.005 Visual Basic
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
The critical heuristics indicate the presence of Excel 4.0 macros with an Auto_Open entry, which is a common method for executing malicious code upon opening the document. The `RUN=0` formula API suggests the macro is designed to execute an external command or payload. The truncated document body and script content prevent a more specific analysis of the payload or its ultimate destination.
Heuristics 3
-
Excel 4.0 Auto_Open defined name critical OLE_XLM_AUTOOPEN_DEFINEDNAMEoletools recovered an Auto_Open / Auto_Close entry from an Excel 4.0 macro sheet. The raw BIFF name can be tokenized or partially opaque to byte-string checks, but the recovered macro listing confirms the workbook has an XLM auto-execution entry.
-
XLM Auto_Open with dangerous formula APIs critical OLE_XLM_DANGEROUS_FNExcel 4.0 macro sheet contains an Auto_Open / Auto_Close entry and dangerous XLM formula APIs that can invoke programs, write files, or transfer control without VBA.
-
Excel 4.0 (XLM) macro sheet present medium OLE_XLM_AUTOOPENWorkbook contains an Excel 4.0 macro sheet sub-stream — XLM is rarely seen in modern legitimate workbooks and was a major Office malware vector during 2020-2022.
