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

The Workbook_Open macro is configured to execute a series of commands. It attempts to create and run a batch file named 'jledshf.bat' and a VBScript file named 'sduoixo.vbs' from the 'c:\programdata' directory. The script also contains a heavily obfuscated PowerShell command that appears to download payloads from multiple URLs. The presence of CreateObject and Wscript.Shell references, along with the auto-execution of the Workbook_Open macro, strongly indicates a malicious intent to download and execute further stages.
