MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 PowerShell T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1204.002 Malicious File

The Workbook_Open macro executes a command that uses PowerShell to download a file named 'Egrom.exe' from 'https://transfer.sh/gt/JWNONUaUMt/Egrom.exe' and saves it as 'C:\Users\Public\z3usy.exe'. The downloaded executable is then immediately executed, indicating a downloader functionality. The ClamAV detection name 'Xls.Downloader.Valyria-10008445-0' further supports the downloader classification and suggests the Valyria family.
