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

The file is a macro-enabled Excel spreadsheet detected as malicious by ClamAV. The Workbook_Open macro is configured to execute, and it uses CreateObject to instantiate Wscript.Shell and Scripting.FileSystemObject. The script attempts to download and execute a batch file from a constructed URL. The reconstructed URL is "http://goyaluaa.vmeshaa.in/0v6kcnky/CG/ ,https://mars.srl/wp-admin/7Ffk6LN2XYs2W/,http://franmuler.es/mbx/8c5RBGjx6/ ,http://varafood.com/Ajax/cnM91G/,https://7jcata.com/wp-content/t/ ,http://blog.centralhome.com". It also writes a VBScript file to c:\programdata\sduoixo.vbs and a batch file to c:\programdata\jledshf.bat.
