MITRE ATT&CK

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

The sample is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature 'Xls.Downloader.EmotetRed02221-9938910-0', indicating a strong likelihood of it being an Emotet variant. The presence of a Workbook_Open macro and CreateObject calls suggests the macro is designed to execute malicious code upon opening. The macro attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload from multiple URLs, including 'http://harperhouseproducts.com/Merchandise2/ARSf1LIQOauhH1rDriH/', and writes a VBScript to 'c:\programdata\yhjlswle.vbs' and a batch file to 'c:\programdata\ughldskbhn.bat' for execution.
