MITRE ATT&CK

The file is an Excel document containing a Workbook_Open macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening. The macro attempts to download and execute a batch file from several hardcoded URLs. The obfuscated document body and script content suggest an intent to download and execute a second-stage payload, likely a backdoor or infostealer, as indicated by the ClamAV detection 'Doc.Malware.Valyria-10004384-0'. The script reconstructs several URLs, including 'http://reumatismclinic.com/-/scCnm3mbJRpsaBKbrC/', which are included as IOCs.
