MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications
T1204.002 Malicious File
The presence of an Excel 4.0 Auto_Open macro, combined with heuristics indicating a macro-enable lure, strongly suggests a malicious intent. The XLM macros are designed to execute upon opening, and the embedded URLs point to potential second-stage download locations. The document body contains fragments that appear to be part of the URL construction, further supporting this.
Heuristics 4
-
Excel 4.0 Auto_Open defined name critical OLE_XLM_AUTOOPEN_DEFINEDNAMEoletools recovered an Auto_Open / Auto_Close entry from an Excel 4.0 macro sheet.

-
Excel 4.0 (XLM) macro sheet present medium OLE_XLM_AUTOOPENWorkbook 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.
-
Macro/content-enable lure medium SE_ENABLE_LUREDocument instructs the user to enable macros or editing — a common technique used by malware droppers to bypass Office macro security settings
-
Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URLOne 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.URL https://signifysystem.com/ceg7AX7oN0o/ue.html
