T1059.005 Visual Basic
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution
The file contains Excel 4.0 macros with an Auto_Open entry, indicating it's designed to execute code upon opening. ClamAV identifies it as a dropper, and the presence of dangerous formula APIs like RUN suggests it attempts to execute a second-stage payload. The macro sheet is marked as very hidden, further indicating malicious intent.
Heuristics 5
-
ClamAV: Xls.Dropper.Agent-8832087-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Xls.Dropper.Agent-8832087-0
-
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.
