MITRE ATT&CK

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

The sample contains a Workbook_Open macro, a common Emotet delivery technique. The macro is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload from a series of hardcoded URLs. The DOC BODY contains obfuscated commands that reconstruct the execution command, including the creation of a VBScript file at 'c:\programdata\yhjlswle.vbs' and a batch file at 'c:\programdata\ughldskbhn.bat'. The ClamAV detection name 'Xls.Downloader.EmotetRed02221-9938910-0' further supports the Emotet family attribution.
