MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample is an Excel file containing a Workbook_Open macro that executes a batch file and a VBScript. The batch file is named 'jledshf.bat' and the VBScript is named 'sduoixo.vbs', both located in 'c:\programdata\'. The VBScript is responsible for downloading and executing additional payloads from several hardcoded URLs. The macro also contains obfuscated commands that appear to be setting up variables for execution. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Malware.Valyria-10004384-0' further confirms its malicious nature.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Doc.Malware.Valyria-10004384-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
