MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The file contains VBA macros that are automatically executed upon opening the workbook, indicated by the Workbook_Open heuristic. The script utilizes CreateObject to instantiate Wscript.Shell and Scripting.FileSystemObject, suggesting it will perform file operations and execute commands. The script attempts to execute a batch file located at 'c:\programdata\jledshf.bat' and a VBScript at 'c:\programdata\sduoixo.vbs'. The embedded script also contains a Base64 encoded string that decodes to multiple URLs, likely for downloading additional payloads. The presence of Wscript.Shell and the execution of external scripts point towards a downloader or initial access mechanism.
