MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample contains a Workbook_Open VBA macro that utilizes CreateObject to instantiate Wscript.Shell and 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 VBScript appears to be responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload from a list of obfuscated URLs. The presence of Wscript.Shell and the execution of external scripts strongly indicate a downloader or dropper functionality.
