MITRE ATT&CK

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

The sample contains a VBA Workbook_Open macro that utilizes CreateObject to instantiate Windows Script Host and the Scripting.FileSystemObject. The macro attempts to execute a batch file located at 'c:\programdata\jledshf.bat' and a VBScript at 'c:\programdata\sduoixo.vbs'. The embedded script also contains a long, obfuscated string that decodes to multiple URLs, likely for downloading additional payloads. The presence of these elements and the ClamAV detection strongly indicate a malicious document designed for payload delivery.
