MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.003 Windows Command Shell

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV and contains a Workbook_Open VBA macro, indicating an attempt to automatically execute code upon opening. The macro uses CreateObject to interact with the system and appears to construct commands to download and execute files from several URLs. Specifically, it attempts to execute a batch file from 'c:\programdata\jledshf.bat' and a VBScript from 'c:\programdata\sduoixo.vbs'. The reconstructed URLs are: http://reumatismlinic.com/./scCnm3mbJRpsaKBbrC/, https://shodhmanjar.com/wp-admin/xJE4m4Pd3N/, http://tubelocal.net/wp-admin/X4Xm4Mk/, https://pacificchomebroker.com/roderick/RRk/, and https://molinai-journal.com/roderick/Rk/. The script's intent is to download and execute a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Doc.Malware.Valyria-10004384-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Malware.Valyria-10004384-0
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
  • Workbook_Open macro high OLE_VBA_WBOPEN
    Workbook_Open macro
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • 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 project inside OOXML medium OOXML_VBA
    Document contains vbaProject.bin — VBA macros present
