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

The sample is an Excel OLE executable file that contains VBA macros. The presence of an Auto_Open macro indicates that malicious code will execute automatically upon opening the document. While no specific payload or network indicators were extracted, the technique itself is a well-established method for initial compromise. The file's structure and the Auto_Open heuristic strongly suggest a macro-based attack.

Heuristics 2

  • Auto_Open macro high OLE_VBA_AUTO
    Auto_Open macro
