MITRE ATT&CK

T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.003 Windows Command Shell

The file is an Excel document containing a Workbook_Open VBA macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. The macro attempts to create a Wscript.Shell object and execute a batch file located at 'c:\programdata\jledshf.bat' and a VBScript at 'c:\programdata\sduoixo.vbs'. The script also contains multiple URLs that are likely used to download and execute a second-stage payload. The ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature.
