MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is an Excel XLS document containing Excel 4.0 macros, indicated by the OLE_XLM_AUTOOPEN and OLE_XLM_DANGEROUS_FN heuristics. The dangerous function API (RUN) suggests the macro attempts to execute external code. The embedded URL 'http://destinostumundo.com/layout/recruter' is likely the source for this payload. The document body text 'DocuSign, DocuSign, DocuSign' is a common lure for phishing or credential harvesting.

Heuristics 3

  • XLM Auto_Open with dangerous formula APIs high OLE_XLM_DANGEROUS_FN
    Excel 4.0 macro sheet contains an Auto_Open / Auto_Close entry and dangerous XLM formula APIs that can invoke programs, write files, or transfer control without VBA.
  • Excel 4.0 (XLM) macro sheet present medium OLE_XLM_AUTOOPEN
    Workbook 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.
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
