MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is an OOXML document containing VBA macros, indicated by the 'OOXML_VBA' and 'EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE' heuristics. The 'SE_INVOICE_LURE' heuristic and the document body content suggest a fake invoice lure. The presence of VBA macros implies an attempt to execute malicious code, likely to download a second-stage payload or establish persistence, though the specific actions are not detailed in the provided evidence.

Heuristics 4

  • External relationship high OOXML_EXTERNAL_REL
    External target in xl/externalLinks/_rels/externalLink2.xml.rels: file:///\\Sskim\최종선적현황\7-9BUY\HS VINA 7-9BUY 최종선적분.xls
  • Suspicious extracted artifact high EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
  • VBA project inside OOXML medium OOXML_VBA
    Document contains vbaProject.bin — VBA macros present
  • Fake invoice / payment lure low SE_INVOICE_LURE
    Document contains invoice or payment language paired with an action verb — useful context when combined with link, macro, or attachment indicators
