MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature 'Xls.Downloader.EmotetExcel02223-9938902-0', strongly suggesting the Emotet family. Heuristics indicate the presence of a Workbook_Open macro and CreateObject calls, commonly used for malicious execution. The VBA script attempts to create batch and VBScript files in the programdata directory and reconstructs a complex string which appears to be a list of URLs, likely for downloading a second-stage payload. The reconstructed URL 'http://sumedahonline.com/wp-content/HyzNXJ30XQVBSRH/' is a primary IOC.
