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

The sample is an Excel document containing a Workbook_Open macro, identified by ClamAV as Doc.Malware.Valyria-10004384-0. The macro is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload. Specifically, it uses Wscript.Shell to execute a batch file (`c:\programdata\jledshf.bat`) and a VBScript (`c:\programdata\sduoixo.vbs`). The VBScript is responsible for downloading additional payloads from several hardcoded URLs, including `http://reumatismclinic.com/--/scCn3mbJRpwBsKBbrC/` and `https://shodmanjar.com/wp-admin/xjEmK4Pd3N/`, and saving them to `c:\programdata\jledshf.bat` and `c:\programdata\sduoixo.vbs` respectively. The obfuscated nature of the DOC BODY content suggests an attempt to hide the malicious commands.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Doc.Malware.Valyria-10004384-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Malware.Valyria-10004384-0
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.

    Workbook_Open macro
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • Suspicious extracted artifact high EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
