MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1204.002 Malicious File

This document contains a Workbook_Open macro that executes obfuscated PowerShell commands. The PowerShell script attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload from multiple URLs, including 'http://sumedahonline.com/wp-content/HyzNXJ30XQEVcBS RH/'. It also creates a batch file at 'c:\programdata\jledshf.bat' and a VBScript at 'c:\programdata\tghklsd.vbs'. The ClamAV detection and heuristic firings strongly indicate this is an Emotet downloader.
