MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is an Excel document containing a Workbook_Open macro that executes obfuscated commands. The macro attempts to create a file named 'sduoixo.vbs' in 'c:\programdata\' and execute it, along with a batch file 'jledshf.bat'. The embedded VBA script also contains logic that appears to be for downloading payloads from multiple URLs, including 'http://reumatismclinic.com/-//scCnm3mbJRpsaKBbrC/'. The ClamAV detection further confirms the malicious nature of the file.
