MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The sample contains VBA macros that execute upon opening the workbook. These macros leverage Wscript.Shell and Scripting.FileSystemObject to create and execute batch and VBScript files. The VBScript file, 'sduoixo.vbs', is constructed from concatenated strings and appears to download payloads from multiple URLs, including 'http://goyaluaat.vmesha.in/0v6kcny/CG/7Ffk6LN2X s2W/'. The batch file 'jledshf.bat' is also created and executed. The presence of Wscript.Shell and the dynamic execution of scripts indicate a downloader or droppper functionality.
