MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The Document_Open VBA macro is designed to execute a command. It reconstructs the command to download a file from 'https://transf.sh/gt/gj04sqKk7O/boat.exe' and save it as 'C:\Users\Public\dx5ys.exe', then executes the downloaded file. This indicates an attempt to download and run a second-stage payload.
