Xls.Dropper.Agent-8915862-0 · confidence 95%

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

The file is an XLSM document containing VBA macros, specifically a Workbook_Open macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. ClamAV detections indicate it's a dropper, likely designed to download and execute a second-stage payload. The presence of a Workbook_Open macro and the ClamAV signature strongly suggest this malicious behavior.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Xls.Dropper.Agent-8915862-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Xls.Dropper.Agent-8915862-0
  • 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.
