MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The file contains VBA macros, specifically a Workbook_Open event, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening the document. The script uses CreateObject to instantiate Wscript.Shell and Scripting.FileSystemObject, indicating an intent to interact with the system. It constructs and executes a batch file located at 'c:\programdata\jledshf.bat' and a VBScript at 'c:\programdata\sduoixo.vbs'. The script also contains a long, obfuscated string that decodes to multiple URLs, suggesting it attempts to download a second-stage payload. The presence of Wscript.Shell and the execution of external scripts strongly indicate a downloader or dropper functionality.
