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

The sample is a macro-enabled Excel file that triggers a Workbook_Open macro. This macro uses CreateObject to instantiate Wscript.Shell and Scripting.FileSystemObject, indicating it will execute commands or scripts. The script attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload from multiple URLs, including 'http://reumatismlinic.com/./scCn3mbJRpsBKBbrC/'. It also writes a batch file to 'c:\programdata\jledshf.bat' and a VBScript to 'c:\programdata\sduoixo.vbs' for execution.
