The sample is an Excel document with a high-confidence detection for VBA macros, specifically a Workbook_Open macro. This macro is designed 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/-/scCn3mbiJRpBsKBbrC/'. The presence of a Workbook_Open macro and the execution of external files strongly indicate a malicious intent to download and run further stages of malware.
