MITRE ATT&CK

T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1204.002 Malicious File

This macro-enabled Excel file (XLSX) contains a Workbook_Open macro that executes a batch file and a VBScript. The batch file appears to be constructed from concatenated variables, with one variable containing a list of URLs. The VBScript also appears to be constructed from concatenated strings, and it uses Wscript.Shell to execute commands. The presence of the ClamAV detection 'Doc.Malware.Valyria-10004384-0' strongly suggests malicious intent, likely to download and execute further payloads from the provided URLs.
