MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1140 Deobfuscate or Obfuscate Malicious Code

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Xls.Trojan.Barisada-9, and an extracted artifact also triggered ClamAV with Xls.Trojan.Barisada-2. The VBA macro code, while partially obfuscated, appears to be designed to download and execute a second-stage payload. Specifically, it attempts to save a file named 'binladen.xls' in the startup path and manipulates other workbooks' VBA code, suggesting a downloader or droppper functionality.

Heuristics 3

  • ClamAV: Xls.Trojan.Barisada-9 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Xls.Trojan.Barisada-9
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
