MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is an Excel spreadsheet containing VBA macros, with a high-confidence Workbook_Open heuristic firing. The macros are obfuscated, and a file named 'macros.bas' was extracted. The document body contains what appears to be a form for job data or service orders, which could be a lure. The primary malicious activity is the execution of the obfuscated VBA code via the Workbook_Open event.

Heuristics 4

  • Workbook_Open macro high OLE_VBA_WBOPEN
    Workbook_Open macro
  • Suspicious extracted artifact high EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
  • 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.
