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

The sample is a macro-enabled Excel file that contains a Workbook_Open macro. This macro uses CreateObject to instantiate Wscript.Shell and Scripting.FileSystemObject. It then proceeds to write two files to disk: 'c:\programdata\jledshf.bat' and 'c:\programdata\sduoixo.vbs'. The batch file appears to be a loader for the VBScript, which in turn is responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload from one of the several hardcoded URLs. The PowerShell command embedded within the DOC BODY, 'powershell -e BGZDSRFgtshk4usthkdfhg gzdfghsklehklyxdjfhDTjufyjxFdHxdrgxdh5687ogfy78o9ghu&start /B /WAIT %hjhdrdresas%%YUderhdD3%%VvdsFHd4%%HJtre4edtgf%%bsRHYdtsughzsd23zfg%%cvxerses3srYHDFj%%fgdsahkaw3DF%', is heavily obfuscated but indicates the execution of a PowerShell payload.

  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC
    Compiled VBA/cache stream contains an auto-execution token together with shell/download/object-execution tokens. This catches p-code-only or source-extraction-failure macro documents where visible source is unavailable.
  • Suspicious extracted artifact high EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
    Document contains VBA macro code
