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

The sample is an Excel document containing a Workbook_Open VBA macro. This macro is designed to execute a batch file located at 'c:\programdata\jledshf.bat' and a VBScript at 'c:\programdata\sduoixo.vbs'. The script also attempts to download and execute a payload from a concatenated URL, which reconstructs to 'http://reumatismclinic.com/--/scCn3mbJRp8bRC/http://shodmanjar.com/wp-admin/xjEmK4Pd3N/http://tubelocal.net/wp-admin/X4Xm4Mk/https://pacifichomebroker.com/roderick/RRk/https://molinai-journal.com/roderick/Rk/'. The ClamAV detection further confirms the malicious nature of the file.
