MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The sample contains VBA macros that trigger on workbook open, indicative of malicious intent. The script attempts to create and execute a batch file ('c:\programdata\jledshf.bat') and a VBScript ('c:\programdata\sduoixo.vbs'). The VBScript is obfuscated but appears to download payloads from multiple URLs, including 'http://goyaluaa.vmeshaa.in/0v6kcnk/CG/'. This suggests the macro is a downloader for further malicious activity.

  • 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.
  • VBA macros detected medium OLE_VBA_MACROS
