MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1204.002 Malicious File

The file contains VBA macros, including Workbook_Open and Document_Open events, which are designed to execute automatically when the document is opened. The presence of a CreateProcess API call and ClamAV detection as 'Doc.Dropper.HexEncodedEXEHeader' strongly suggests that the macros are intended to download and execute a secondary payload. The document body 'Daily Fuel Consumption-USG-' appears to be a lure to entice the user to open the malicious file.
