MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The Workbook_Open macro is designed to execute arbitrary commands. It uses CreateObject to instantiate Wscript.Shell and Scripting.FileSystemObject, indicating an intent to download and execute further payloads. The script attempts to download files from multiple URLs, including 'http://goyaluaat.vmeshaa.in/0v6kcny/CG/' and 'https://mars.srl/wp-admin/7Ffk6LN2X s2W/', and save them as 'c:\programdata\jledshf.bat' and 'c:\programdata\sduoixo.vbs'. The macro also contains obfuscated strings that appear to be encoded URLs, further supporting the download and execution of malicious content.
