MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications
T1204.002 Malicious File
The file is an Excel 4.0 macro-enabled spreadsheet that uses an Auto_Open macro to execute. The document body contains text that appears to be part of a macro command sequence, including URLs. The presence of an 'enable macros' lure and the Auto_Open macro indicate a malicious intent to download and execute a payload from the provided URLs. The macro itself is truncated, but the structure and embedded URLs strongly suggest a downloader functionality.
Heuristics 4
-
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.

-
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.
-
Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LUREDocument instructs the user to enable macros or editing — a common technique used by malware droppers to bypass Office macro security settings
-
