T1204.002 Malicious File
T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer
The sample is an Excel file containing Excel 4.0 macros, specifically utilizing the EXEC function to download and execute a payload. The macros construct a PowerShell command to download a file from 'http://iurl.vip/lovpk' to the temporary directory as 'DgZBA.exe' and then execute it. This indicates a downloader functionality, consistent with the DridexGreen family.
Heuristics 7
-
ClamAV: Xls.Downloader.DridexGreen09213-9890103-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTIONClamAV detected this file as malware: Xls.Downloader.DridexGreen09213-9890103-0
-
Excel 4.0 macro sheet (1 sheet(s)) critical 2 related findings OOXML_XLM_MACROSHEETSpreadsheet contains an Excel 4.0 (XLM) macro sheet — XLM was a major Office malware vector during 2020-2022 and evaded many VBA-focused controls before Microsoft tightened XLM defaults. Even legitimate XLM use is rare in modern workbooks.
-
Excel 4.0 Auto_Open defined name critical OOXML_XLM_AUTOOPEN_DEFINEDNAMEWorkbook defines _xlnm.Auto_Open or _xlnm.Auto_Close while containing an XLM macro sheet. This is the OOXML/XLSB auto-execution shape for Excel 4.0 macros.
-
Dangerous XLM formula APIs: EXEC critical OOXML_XLM_DANGEROUS_FNExcel 4.0 macro sheet uses formula APIs that call directly into Win32 (=CALL/=EXEC/=REGISTER/=FORMULA). These are the primitives used to download payloads, write files, and start processes from an XLM macro without invoking VBA.
-
Suspicious extracted artifact medium EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne 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.
-
Hidden worksheet (veryHidden) low OOXML_HIDDEN_SHEETExcel workbook contains 1 hidden sheet(s) — hidden sheets are commonly used to conceal macro code, staging data, or intermediate payload construction
-
