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

The sample is a macro-enabled Excel file that triggers a Workbook_Open event. This event executes VBA code which utilizes CreateObject to interact with Wscript.Shell and Scripting.FileSystemObject. The script attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload from multiple URLs, including 'http://goyaluaat.vmesha.in/0v6kcnky/CG/'. It also creates batch and VBScript files in 'c:\programdata\'. The VBA code is obfuscated, but the intent to download and execute further malicious content is clear.
