MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is an Excel document with a high-confidence detection for VBA macros, specifically a Workbook_Open macro. The macro executes obfuscated commands via Wscript.Shell, including the creation of a batch file (jledshf.bat) and a VBScript file (sduoixo.vbs) in the programdata directory. The script also attempts to download payloads from multiple URLs, including 'http://reumatismclinic.com/--/scCnm3mbJRpwBvbrC/'. This indicates a downloader or droppper functionality.
