MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1047 Windows Management Instrumentation

The file is an Excel document containing VBA macros, with a Workbook_Open macro identified. This macro uses CreateObject to execute a batch file located at 'c:\programdata\jledshf.bat' and a VBScript at 'c:\programdata\sduoixo.vbs'. The script also attempts to download payloads from multiple URLs, including 'http://reumatismclinic.com/--/scCnm3mbJRpwBsKBbrC/'. This indicates a macro-based downloader attempting to fetch and execute further stages of malware.

  • ClamAV: Doc.Malware.Valyria-10004384-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Malware.Valyria-10004384-0
  • 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.
