MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample is an Excel document containing a Workbook_Open macro that executes a batch file and a VBScript. The batch file appears to be responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload from multiple URLs. The VBScript is likely involved in the execution or staging of the payload. The ClamAV detection and the presence of VBA macros strongly indicate malicious intent.
