MITRE ATT&CK

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Doc.Malware.Valyria-10004384-0. It contains a Workbook_Open macro that executes obfuscated commands. These commands reconstruct and execute a batch file (`c:\programdata\jledshf.bat`) and a VBScript (`c:\programdata\sduoixo.vbs`). The VBScript is responsible for downloading payloads from multiple URLs, including 'http://reumatismclinic.com/./scCn3mbJRPsaKBibrC/', 'https://shodmanjar.com/wp-admin/xJE4Xm4Qpd3N/', and others. The VBA macro also contains logic for user interaction via InputBox and MsgBox, likely for social engineering.

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Doc.Malware.Valyria-10004384-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Doc.Malware.Valyria-10004384-0
  • ClamAV detection on extracted artifact critical EXTRACTED_FILE_CLAMAV
    ClamAV flagged at least one file extracted from inside this sample. Even when the wrapping document carries no AV detection of its own, a hit on the carved artifact is a strong indicator the sample is a delivery vehicle.
  • Workbook_Open macro high OLE_VBA_WBOPEN
    Workbook_Open macro
  • CreateObject call high OLE_VBA_CREATEOBJ
    CreateObject call
  • 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 project inside OOXML medium OOXML_VBA
    Document contains vbaProject.bin — VBA macros present
