MITRE ATT&CK

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

The file contains a Workbook_Open macro that executes obfuscated PowerShell commands. These commands are designed to download and execute a second-stage payload from multiple URLs. The ClamAV detection name 'Xls.Downloader.EmotetRed02221-9938910-0' strongly suggests the Emotet family. The script also attempts to save the downloaded payload to 'c:\programdata\yhjlswle.vbs' and execute it via a batch file 'c:\programdata\ughldskbhn.bat'.
