MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample contains VBA macros that execute Windows Script Host commands. The Workbook_Open macro is designed to create a FileSystemObject and execute a batch file named 'jledshf.bat' located in 'c:\programdata\'. It also attempts to execute a VBScript file named 'sduoixo.vbs' from the same directory. The script also contains obfuscated PowerShell commands that appear to download and execute payloads from multiple URLs. The presence of these elements and the ClamAV detection strongly indicate a malicious downloader.
