MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature 'Xls.Downloader.EmotetExcel02223-9938902-0', strongly suggesting the Emotet family. The presence of a Workbook_Open macro and CreateObject calls indicates automated execution upon opening. The embedded VBA script contains obfuscated PowerShell commands that reconstruct a URL for downloading a second-stage payload. The reconstructed URL is 'http://sumedahonline.com/wp-content/HyzNXJ30XQEBSRH/'. Additionally, the script writes two files to disk: 'c:\programdata\jledshf.bat' and 'c:\programdata\tghklsd.vbs'.
