MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The Workbook_Open macro executes a command using cmd.exe to download a file from the URL "http://45.155.165.63/tq/loader/uploads/Product_Details_018_RFQ.exe" and save it as "Zcldxvqciopgykje.exe.exe", which is then immediately executed. This indicates a downloader or dropper functionality, consistent with the ClamAV detection of 'Xls.Dropper.EPPlus-9802867-2'.

  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
