MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The file was detected by ClamAV as 'Xls.Downloader.EmotetExcel02223-9938902-0', indicating a known Emotet downloader variant. The presence of a Workbook_Open macro and CreateObject calls strongly suggests malicious VBA code execution. The script attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload from multiple URLs, including 'http://sumedahonline.com/wp-content/HyzNXJ30XQEBSRH/', and writes batch and VBScript files to disk.
