MITRE ATT&CK

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

The sample contains VBA macros that are automatically executed upon opening the workbook, indicated by the Workbook_Open heuristic. The script utilizes CreateObject to interact with the system, specifically referencing Wscript.Shell and Scripting.FileSystemObject. It constructs and executes a batch command that includes a base64 encoded string, which decodes to multiple URLs. These URLs are likely used to download and execute further malicious content. The presence of Wscript.Shell and the execution of a batch file point towards a downloader or initial access mechanism.
