MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.003 Windows Command Shell

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Doc.Malware.Valyria-10004384-0. It contains a Workbook_Open macro that executes a batch file located at 'c:\programdata\jledshf.bat' and a VBScript at 'c:\programdata\sduoixo.vbs'. The VBA script also attempts to execute a command using 'wscript.shell' and reconstructs several URLs, including 'http://reumatiisclinic.com/--/scCnm3mbJRpwBvbrC/', which are likely used to download and execute further stages of the attack. The presence of these macros and the execution of external files indicate a downloader or droppper functionality.
