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

The sample contains VBA macros that utilize WScript.Shell to create and write a VBScript file to the temporary directory. This script is designed to download a DLL payload from a hardcoded URL, which is then written to the temporary directory. The use of WScript.Shell and the creation of executable files indicate a clear intent to download and execute a second-stage payload.
