MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The critical heuristic 'OLE_VBA_DOWNLOAD' indicates the use of URLDownloadToFileA, a common function for downloading second-stage payloads. The VBA script explicitly declares this function, confirming its intent to download content from a URL. The presence of VBA macros also aligns with T1059.005. The document body contains obfuscated text, likely to evade static analysis.
