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

The file contains VBA macros that are automatically executed upon opening the workbook. The script utilizes Wscript.Shell and Scripting.FileSystemObject to create and execute a batch file located at 'c:\programdata\jledshf.bat' and a VBScript at 'c:\programdata\sduoixo.vbs'. The VBScript appears to download a second-stage payload from a list of obfuscated URLs, including 'http://goyaluaa.vmeshaa.in/0v6kcnky/CG/'. This indicates a downloader or droppper functionality.
