MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The Workbook_Open macro fires upon opening the XLS file, triggering a high-confidence heuristic for CreateObject. This macro executes a PowerShell command that uses 'iwr' (Invoke-WebRequest) to download a file from 'http://rejkabums.ru/wp-content/P3/bin.jpg' and save it as 'C:\Users\Public\Pictures\zjgpvhkhs.exe'. It then executes the downloaded file. The PowerShell command is base64 encoded in the document body, which decodes to the full command string.
