MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample contains VBA macros that leverage ShellExecute to run a PowerShell command. This PowerShell command is designed to download a JavaScript file from 'http://ddapoknet.ug/ups/pu/yaw.sbv/yaw.sbv' and execute it. The script also attempts to establish persistence by writing to the Run key 'HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\IAccessible2Proxy'. The presence of these elements strongly indicates a downloader or initial access mechanism.
