The critical heuristic OLE_VBA_CELL_GETOBJECT_EXEC indicates that the VBA macros instantiate and execute content from worksheet cells. The script further confirms this by constructing a batch file path 'C:\Users\<username>\oMbKG.bat' and writing content to it, which is then opened using GetObject. This suggests the macro is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 5

VBA instantiates/executes content from worksheet cells critical OLE_VBA_CELL_GETOBJECT_EXEC

VBA passes a worksheet cell/comment reference to GetObject and drives an Exec/Open/Run sink. Malware hides the COM moniker and command in cell data so the macro source carries no literal indicators.
