MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is a macro-enabled Excel document detected by ClamAV as Doc.Malware.Valyria-10004384-0. The Workbook_Open macro is present and uses CreateObject to execute a batch file and a VBScript from the 'c:\programdata' directory. The script attempts to download and execute payloads from multiple URLs, including 'http://reumatismclinic.com/./scCn3mbJRpsBKBrc/'. The presence of the Workbook_Open macro and the execution of external scripts strongly indicate a malicious intent to download and run further stages of malware.
