MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Service Execution: Service Execution

The sample is an Excel 4.0 macro-enabled document. Heuristics indicate the presence of an Auto_Open macro that uses dangerous formula APIs, specifically the RUN function. This macro likely attempts to download and execute a payload from the embedded URL https://tdvomds.pw/12341324rfefv.

Heuristics 3

  • XLM Auto_Open with dangerous formula APIs high OLE_XLM_DANGEROUS_FN
    Excel 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_AUTOOPEN
