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

The file is an Excel spreadsheet identified as malicious due to the presence of VBA macros. A Workbook_Open macro was detected, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening the document. The 'macros.bas' file was extracted and exhibits VBA Chr string obfuscation, indicating an attempt to hide malicious functionality. The document body contains what appears to be order processing data, likely a lure to disguise the malicious nature of the spreadsheet.
