MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.003 Windows Command Shell

The VBA macro within the Excel file is configured to execute automatically upon opening the workbook (Workbook_Open). It utilizes 'CreateObject' to instantiate 'Wscript.Shell' and 'Scripting.FileSystemObject', indicating an intent to run external commands and manipulate files. The script attempts to execute a batch file located at 'c:\programdata\jledshf.bat' and a VBScript at 'c:\programdata\sduoixo.vbs'. The VBScript appears to be obfuscated but contains reconstructed URLs that are likely used to download and execute a second-stage payload. The presence of multiple suspicious URLs and the execution of script files strongly suggest a downloader or droppper functionality.
