T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications
T1204.002 Malicious File
The file contains an Excel 4.0 macro sheet with an Auto_Open defined name, indicating automatic execution upon opening. The document body contains obfuscated strings that appear to be related to downloading and executing a file from the provided URLs. The presence of an 'enable lure' heuristic further suggests the document is designed to trick the user into enabling macros to initiate the malicious payload.
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. 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.
-
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
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — context-specific rules above attribute URLs they actually evaluated; this rule lists URLs that were present in the bytes but were not otherwise tied to a specific finding.URL https://hermescomm.net/x9NvrhL0/lena.html
