MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The file contains VBA macros, specifically a Workbook_Open macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening the document. The script utilizes CreateObject to instantiate Wscript.Shell and Scripting.FileSystemObject, indicating an intent to interact with the operating system. It attempts to execute a batch file located at 'c:\programdata\jledshf.bat' and a VBScript at 'c:\programdata\sduoixo.vbs'. The reconstructed URL 'http://goyaluaa.vmeshaa.in/0v6kcny/CG/' and other similar URLs suggest a download or command-and-control function. The presence of a Run key entry 'HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\IAccessible2Proxy' indicates an attempt at persistence.
