The sample contains VBA macros that execute upon opening the workbook, indicated by the Workbook_Open auto-execution. The script utilizes `CreateObject` to instantiate `Wscript.Shell` and `Scripting.FileSystemObject`, which are then used to download and execute a second-stage payload from a list of obfuscated URLs. The reconstructed URL is "http://goyaluaa.vmesha.in/0v6kcny/CG/". The script also attempts to create a batch file at `c:\programdata\jledshf.bat` and a VBScript at `c:\programdata\sduoixo.vbs`.

  • 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
