MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1059.005 Visual Basic

The file is a macro-enabled Excel spreadsheet that triggers a Workbook_Open macro. This macro uses `CreateObject` to instantiate `Wscript.Shell` and `Scripting.FileSystemObject`, indicating an intent to execute commands and manipulate files. The script attempts to write a batch file to `c:\programdata\jledshf.bat` and a VBScript to `c:\programdata\sduoixo.vbs`, and then execute them. The embedded VBA code also contains obfuscated strings that reconstruct multiple URLs, suggesting a downloader functionality to fetch and execute further malicious content. The presence of `Wscript.Shell` and the execution of external scripts strongly point to a downloader or initial access stage.
