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

The critical ClamAV heuristic and high-severity VBA heuristics indicate malicious intent. The Workbook_Open macro is configured to execute automatically, and the script attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload from a series of concatenated URLs. The reconstructed URL is "http://rkepreua.com/inclube/FBXbsVAAOd1UV/,http://pozhadvokat.com/images/QmZXA9kRU8xZFG/,http://quens.renovagio.ltda/wp-includes/LAH/,http://renovomarketing.com/renovatio-marketing.com/A/,http://remedy.eventmast.com/eapn/lpN6dcApn/,http://keluargamalaysia.plibaho.com/cgi-bin/FUzc3KOKN3DNe/,http://pcbdsmab.insanrabany.sch.id/gkvb/sXVYo8HsPFQh/,http://pinaclehomesusa.net/870x9/pNp3a1iHCKaZwYE/,http://dandtremierhomes.com/eapn/lpN6dcApn/". Additionally, a suspicious batch file path 'c:\programdata\rtyusdj.bat' was extracted.

  • 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
