MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File T1059.001 PowerShell

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature 'Xls.Downloader.EmotetRed02221-9938910-0', indicating a known Emotet variant. The presence of a Workbook_Open macro and CreateObject calls strongly suggests malicious VBA code execution. The DOC BODY contains obfuscated commands that appear to be constructing a command to download and execute a VBScript payload from multiple URLs, including 'http://harperhouseproducts.com/Merchandise2/ARSf1LIcOauh1rDiRh/'. This script is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload.
