The file contains VBA macros, specifically a Workbook_Open event, which is designed to execute arbitrary commands. The script utilizes Wscript.Shell and Scripting.FileSystemObject to create and execute batch and VBScript files from the ProgramData directory. The reconstructed URL "http://goyaluaa.vmesha.in/0v6kcny/CG/ ,https://mars.srl/wp-admin/7Ffk6LN2X s2W/,http://franmuler.es/mbx/8c5RBJx6/,http://varafood.com/Ajax/cnM91G/,https://7jcata.com/wp-content/t/,http://blog.centralhome.h" indicates a clear intent to download and execute a second-stage payload. The ClamAV detection further supports its malicious nature.
