MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample is an Excel document containing a VBA project with an Auto_Open macro, indicating it is designed to execute malicious code upon opening. The external relationship points to a local file path, which is unusual and may be an attempt to obfuscate the true payload source or indicate a specific internal network targeting. The macro's intent is to likely download and execute a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 4

  • External relationship high OOXML_EXTERNAL_REL
    External target in xl/externalLinks/_rels/externalLink4.xml.rels: file:///\\STA022-N2\Construction\WORKS\6787\civil\final\option\6787CWFASE2CASE2_00.xls
  • VBA project inside OOXML medium 1 related finding OOXML_VBA
    Document contains a VBA project — VBA macros present
  • Auto_Open macro high OLE_VBA_AUTO
    Auto_Open macro
  • Hidden worksheet (veryHidden) low OOXML_HIDDEN_SHEET
    Excel workbook contains 1 hidden sheet(s) — hidden sheets are commonly used to conceal macro code, staging data, or intermediate payload construction
