MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample contains a Workbook_Open VBA macro that leverages Wscript.Shell to execute a batch file and a VBScript. The script appears to be a downloader, attempting to fetch payloads from multiple URLs. The reconstructed URL is "http://goyaluaa.vmeshaa.in/0v6kcnky/CG/ ,https://mars.srl/wp-admin/7Ffk6LN2XYs2W/,http://franmuler.es/mbx/8c5RBGjx6/,http://varafood.com/Ajax/cnM91G/,https://7jjcat.com/wp-content/t/,http://blog.centralhome.com/wp-content/t/". The presence of Wscript.Shell and the obfuscated command line arguments strongly suggest a malicious intent to download and execute further stages.
