MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The Workbook_Open macro executes a command to download a second-stage payload named 'ConsoleApp9.exe' from 'https://serverupload.ddns.net/ConsoleApp9.exe' and save it as 'C:\Users\Public\Documents\YJznzCRNcWhyxHYcXShSLzkDyafpyGObmSmWIqvHhkacBqhbDQ.exe'. It then executes this downloaded file. The VBA code also constructs a batch file named 'C:\Users\Public\Documents\HIwsTwdxLjJWxbLePKVVppzkkAuNawKhTdfUJYWqVbwuFEdEjg.bat' which contains the command to download and execute the payload.
