MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File T1140 Deobfuscate or Obfuscate

The file is an Excel document containing a Workbook_Open macro that is designed to execute obfuscated commands. The script attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload from multiple URLs, including 'http://reumatismclinic.com/--/scCn3mbJRpwBvbrC/'. It also creates a batch file at 'c:\programdata\jledshf.bat' and a VBScript at 'c:\programdata\sduoixo.vbs' for execution. The presence of the Workbook_Open macro and the obfuscated command execution strongly indicate a malicious intent to download and run further malware.
