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

The sample is an XLSM file containing VBA macros. The document body explicitly contains a PowerShell command designed to download an executable from 'sparepartiran.com' and then execute it. This indicates the file's primary purpose is to act as a downloader for a second-stage payload. The ClamAV detection further supports its malicious nature.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Xls.Malware.Sagent-10035294-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Xls.Malware.Sagent-10035294-0
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.

    CreateObject call
  • Visible LOLBin command execution instruction high SE_LOLBIN_RUN_COMMAND
    Document contains instructions or visible command text involving Windows script/execution tools such as PowerShell, mshta, cmd, rundll32, or regsvr32
