MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1047 WMI

The sample is an Excel document containing a Workbook_Open VBA macro that executes obfuscated commands. The macro attempts to create a file named 'jledshf.bat' and another named 'sduoixo.vbs' in the 'c:\programdata' directory. It also attempts to execute a file using 'wscript.shell' and includes multiple URLs that are likely used to download additional malicious content. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Malware.Valyria-10004384-0' further confirms its malicious nature.

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
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC
