The file is an Excel document with a Workbook_Open macro that executes a batch file and a VBScript. The batch file is named 'jledshf.bat' and the VBScript is 'sduoixo.vbs', both located in 'c:\programdata\'. The VBScript is responsible for downloading and executing payloads from multiple URLs. The CLAMAV_DETECTION heuristic confirms this is malicious malware, likely Valyria.

Heuristics 6

  • 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.

  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • Suspicious extracted artifact high EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
