The sample is a macro-enabled Excel workbook that contains a Workbook_Open macro. This macro utilizes Wscript.Shell to execute a batch file located at 'c:\programdata\jledshf.bat'. The script also attempts to download a second-stage payload from multiple URLs, including 'https://monequuot.ja.deals/assets/jCwxxvuPS7VhWxJ/'. The ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Downloader.EmotetExcel02226-9938630-0' further supports its nature as a downloader.
