MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1140 Deobfuscate or Obfuscate Malicious Code T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample contains VBA macros that leverage CreateObject to execute commands, including references to 'certutil' for potential decoding and 'winmgmts:Win32_Process' and 'Rundll32' for execution. The script attempts to save the document in multiple formats and then execute a task using a constructed string, likely to download and run a second-stage payload. The presence of heap spray and certutil references suggests obfuscation and download capabilities.
