The Workbook_Open macro executes a command to download a batch file from http://18.156.129.63/entity/693900337383.bat using certutil and then executes the downloaded file. This indicates the sample acts as a downloader for a second-stage payload.

  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
