MITRE ATT&CK

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

The sample is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature 'Xls.Downloader.EmotetExcel02223-9938902-0'. The presence of a Workbook_Open macro and CreateObject calls strongly suggests malicious intent. The embedded VBA script contains obfuscated PowerShell commands that attempt to download and execute a second-stage payload from multiple URLs. The script also references suspicious file paths like 'c:\programdata\jledshf.bat' and 'c:\programdata\tghklsd.vbs', indicating potential dropper or downloader functionality.
