The critical ClamAV detection and high-severity heuristics for OLE_VBA_MACROS, OLE_VBA_WBOPEN, OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ, and SC_STR_WSCRIPT strongly indicate malicious VBA code. The Workbook_Open macro is designed to execute a batch file located at 'c:\programdata\jledshf.bat' using Wscript.Shell. The script also attempts to download additional payloads from multiple URLs, including reconstructed URL 'https://moneyaquout.ja.deal/assets/jcCwxbvUSPE7VhWxj/https://vestaeguridab.com.ar/wp-content/7JD9ugfnwG/,http://veluxcucumberapi.orbitalwaves.it/assets/W9Kfk84'. This behavior is characteristic of Emotet downloaders.

CreateObject call
VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC

Compiled VBA/cache stream contains an auto-execution token together with shell/download/object-execution tokens. This catches p-code-only or source-extraction-failure macro documents where visible source is unavailable.
Suspicious extracted artifact high EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE

One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS

Document contains VBA macro code
