The file contains VBA macros that trigger on workbook open, indicative of malicious intent. The script attempts to create a Windows Script Host object and execute a batch file located at 'c:\programdata\jledshf.bat'. This batch file, in turn, appears to download and execute a VBScript from a URL. The presence of 'CreateObject' and 'Wscript.Shell' heuristics, along with the detected ClamAV signature 'Doc.Malware.Valyria-10004384-0', strongly suggests a downloader or dropper functionality. The reconstructed URL 'http://goyaluaa.vmeshaa.in/0v6kcnky/CG/' is a primary indicator of the second-stage payload source.

Heuristics 7

  • ClamAV: Doc.Malware.Valyria-10004384-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Malware.Valyria-10004384-0
  • Reference to Windows Script Host high SC_STR_WSCRIPT
    Reference to Windows Script Host
  • Workbook_Open macro high OLE_VBA_WBOPEN
    Workbook_Open macro
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    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
