MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample is an Excel document containing a Workbook_Open macro, which is a common technique for initiating malicious activity upon opening. The macro attempts to execute a batch file (`c:\programdata\jledshf.bat`) and a VBScript (`c:\programdata\sduoixo.vbs`). The VBScript is responsible for downloading and executing payloads from multiple URLs, including `http://reumatismclinic.com/- /scCn3mbiJRpsBaKBrc/` and `https://shodmanjar.com/wp-admin/xjEmK4Pd3N/`. The presence of these elements and the ClamAV detection strongly indicate a malicious intent to download and execute further stages of malware.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Doc.Malware.Valyria-10004384-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Malware.Valyria-10004384-0
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
  • Workbook_Open macro high OLE_VBA_WBOPEN
    Workbook_Open macro
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • Suspicious extracted artifact high EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
