MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The file contains VBA macros that are automatically executed upon opening the workbook, as indicated by the Workbook_Open heuristic. The script uses CreateObject to instantiate Wscript.Shell, which is then used to execute a batch file located at 'c:\programdata\jledshf.bat'. The script also attempts to download payloads from multiple URLs, including 'http://aixyana.com/wp-admin/6pY001tdOxY1@0Xb10' and 'https://ncikjejak.com/bacc/lO46QUEiVnam/', which are reconstructed from obfuscated strings. This behavior is characteristic of Emotet downloaders.

VBA p-code auto-exec with execution tokens high OLE_VBA_PCODE_AUTOEXEC_EXEC

Compiled VBA/cache stream contains an auto-execution token together with shell/download/object-execution tokens. This catches p-code-only or source-extraction-failure macro documents where visible source is unavailable.
Suspicious extracted artifact high EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE

One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
