MITRE ATT&CK

T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.003 Windows Command Shell

The file is an Excel spreadsheet containing VBA macros, specifically a Workbook_Open macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. The script attempts to create a FileSystemObject and execute a batch file named 'jledshf.bat' from the 'c:\programdata\' directory, and also a VBScript named 'sduoixo.vbs'. The presence of multiple URLs within the script, some of which are reconstructed from concatenated strings, suggests a downloader or droppper functionality. The ClamAV detection further confirms the malicious nature of the file.
