MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file contains Excel 4.0 macros (XLM) with an Auto_Open routine, a common technique for malicious macro-enabled documents. The heuristic 'OLE_XLM_AUTOOPEN_PAYLOAD_LURE' indicates the presence of a payload URL, specifically http://sourceofkaos.com/homes/nomercy/crazh.html, suggesting the macro's intent is to download and execute a second-stage payload. The ClamAV detection 'Win.Trojan.Crazy-2' further supports its malicious nature.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.Crazy-2 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.Crazy-2
  • XLM Auto_Open workbook with payload URL or enable-content lure critical OLE_XLM_AUTOOPEN_PAYLOAD_LURE
    Workbook contains an Excel 4.0 macro sheet with Auto_Open / Auto_Close and also exposes a payload URL or enable-content lure in the OLE bytes. This combination is a high-confidence XLM downloader/social-engineering pattern even when formula recovery cannot decode the full macro chain.
  • Excel 4.0 (XLM) macro sheet present medium OLE_XLM_AUTOOPEN
    Workbook 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.
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One 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.
