MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample is identified as malicious by ClamAV with a specific Emotet signature. The Workbook_Open VBA macro is designed to execute a batch file located at 'c:\programdata\jledshf.bat'. This batch file contains obfuscated commands that appear to download and execute a second-stage payload from a list of URLs. The VBA script also attempts to establish persistence by writing to the registry key 'HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\IAccessible2Proxy'.
