T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
The sample is an Excel 4.0 macro-enabled document. Heuristics indicate the presence of an Auto_Open macro and the use of dangerous functions like RUN, suggesting it's designed to execute arbitrary code. The macro sheet contains markers associated with legacy macro-viruses, specifically 'XL4Poppy' and 'Normal_MacroVirus'. The document body contains Vietnamese text related to financial statements, which may serve as a lure.
Heuristics 4
-
Excel 4.0 (XLM) Auto_Open + macro sheet critical OLE_XLM_AUTOOPENWorkbook contains an Auto_Open / Auto_Close defined name together with an Excel 4.0 macro sheet — the canonical XLM auto-execution shape used by malware families such as Emotet and QakBot.
-
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.
-
Legacy XLM macro-virus family marker critical OLE_XLM_LEGACY_MACRO_VIRUSWorkbook contains an Excel 4.0 macro Auto_Open chain and legacy macro-virus family strings. This is a narrow indicator for infected XLM workbooks rather than ordinary formula use.
