MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications

The critical heuristic 'OLE_XLS_FORMULA_MACRO_VIRUS' indicates the presence of a legacy Excel formula macro virus, specifically identified as 'XF.Classic' and associated with 'Poppy by VicodinES'. The embedded text confirms this, mentioning 'Excel Formula Macro Virus' and 'Classic.Poppy by VicodinES'. The script's intent appears to be infecting other workbooks and saving them as 'Book1.xls', suggesting a propagation mechanism. The mention of 'Hydrocodone/APAP 10-650 For Your Computer' is unusual and may indicate a secondary malicious purpose, though the primary function is macro-based infection.
