MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample contains a Workbook_Open VBA macro that executes Windows Script Host commands. The macro attempts to download and execute a batch file from a constructed URL. The script also attempts to create a VBScript file and execute it. The reconstructed URL for the batch file download is 'http://goyaluaat.vmesha.in/0v6kcny/CG/'. The VBScript file is named 'sduoixo.vbs' and is placed in 'c:\programdata\'. The macro also contains a long, obfuscated string that appears to be a list of URLs, likely for downloading additional payloads.
