MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample contains VBA macros that are executed upon opening the workbook, as indicated by the Workbook_Open and CreateObject firings. The script leverages Wscript.Shell to execute obfuscated commands, including the reconstruction of a URL: "http://goyaluaat.vmeshaa.in/0v6kcnky/CG/". It also attempts to write a batch file to 'c:\programdata\jledshf.bat' and a VBScript to 'c:\programdata\sduoixo.vbs', likely to download and execute further stages of the attack. The ClamAV detection further supports its malicious nature.
