VBA writes UserForm/control payload to a command file

critical OLE_VBA_USERFORM_CMD_DROPPER

What it means

VBA reads payload content from a UserForm/control property, writes it to disk, and launches it as a script or executable.

Why it fires

Malicious macro builders hide command text or payload bytes in UserForm/control properties such as Caption, Text, Value, Tag, or ControlTipText. The detector requires that hidden source together with a file-write primitive, a script/executable extension or rename, and a process-launch primitive. Together these operations implement a macro dropper; form UI code alone does not match.
