MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is an Excel document containing VBA macros, indicated by the OLE_VBA_MACROS heuristic. The OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ heuristic suggests that the macros attempt to execute external code. The presence of a large VBA macro source (59515 bytes) further supports this. The document body contains what appears to be timestamped data, which is likely a lure or obfuscation. Without further script analysis, the exact payload and delivery mechanism remain unknown, but the intent is to execute arbitrary code.

Heuristics 2

  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
