MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample contains a Workbook_Open VBA macro that is designed to execute a PowerShell command. This command uses 'Invoke-WebRequest' to download a file from 'http://18.185.184.17/G6/0211300.jpg' and save it as 'C:\Users\Public\Documents\shiviyxfnp.exe'. It then executes the downloaded file. The VBA macro's primary function is to download and execute a second-stage payload from the embedded URL.
