T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample is a malicious Excel document containing a Workbook_Open macro. This macro uses CreateObject to execute a batch file located at 'c:\programdata\jledshf.bat' and a VBScript at 'c:\programdata\sduoixo.vbs'. The script also attempts to download payloads from multiple URLs, including 'http://reumatismclinic.com/--/scCn3mbJRpwBKBbrC/'. The presence of the Workbook_Open macro and the execution of external files indicate a downloader or dropper functionality.
