MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The sample is a malicious Excel file containing VBA macros. The Workbook_Open macro automatically executes, creating a Wscript.Shell object to run a VBS file and a BAT file from the C:\programdata directory. The script also attempts to download a payload from multiple URLs, including 'http://fullunes-saefety.com/-/P6x/-/', 'https://nabajyotifoundation.com/da8uc7jo/4Za/', and others, which indicates an Ingress Tool Transfer attack pattern. The ClamAV detection as 'Doc.Downloader.EmotetRed02220-9938909-0' further supports its downloader functionality.
