MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample contains a Workbook_Open VBA macro that utilizes Wscript.Shell to execute commands. The macro attempts to download and run a VBScript from a hardcoded URL, which is then likely to execute a batch file. The reconstructed URL is 'http://santoetortilla.com/_baks/tUX9/http://donbaham.com/Home_files/YS0PAaPxyeraes/,http://barnhart-studies.com/eln-images/vggh1nb/,http://blute.com/3dtech/jLu8IANnj3gK9WC/,http://zenzebra.net/plath/9Q0DBle/,http://realacorp.net/PhotoGallery/Uw mRHceSGbaCeGF/,http://miniflam.com/eln-images/fSwbQjU M AfGxdw/,http://marezdecor.com/MarezGallery/SEQxWtpMJ7A8rAYt/,http://...'. This indicates a downloader functionality aiming to fetch and execute further malicious stages.
