The sample is a malicious Excel file containing a Workbook_Open VBA macro. This macro executes obfuscated VBScript code that attempts to download and execute payloads from multiple URLs. The VBScript code reconstructs the following URLs: 'http://reumatismlinica.com/./scCn3mbJRpsaKBbrC/', 'https://shodmanjar.com/wp-admin/xjEmK4Pd3N/', 'http://tubelocal.net/wp-admin/X4Xm4Mk/', 'https://pacifichomebroker.com/roderick/RRk/', and 'https://molina-journal.com/rodeirick/RRk/'. It also creates batch and VBScript files in 'c:\programdata\'. The VBA code also contains references to Wscript.Shell and CreateObject, indicating the use of scripting for execution.

  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC

  • Suspicious extracted artifact high EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
