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

The file is a macro-enabled Excel spreadsheet that triggers a Workbook_Open event. This event executes VBA code which uses CreateObject to instantiate Wscript.Shell and Scripting.FileSystemObject. The script attempts to download and execute a batch file from a hardcoded URL and also attempts to run a VBScript from a hardcoded path. The reconstructed URL for the download is "http://goyaluaat.vmesha.in/0v6kcny/CG/ ,https://mars.srl/wp-admin/7Ffk6LN2X s2W/,http://franmuler.es/mbx/8c5R B Jx6/,http://varafood.com/Ajax/cnM91G/,https://7jjcat.com/wp-content/t/,http://blog.centralhome.com/wpa-admin/". The script also attempts to create and execute a batch file at 'c:\programdata\jledshf.bat' and a VBScript at 'c:\programdata\sduoixo.vbs'.
