T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The OOXML document contains VBA macros that reference cmd.exe and PowerShell. The GetObject call and the presence of a Base64 decoding function suggest that the macro is designed to download and execute a secondary payload. The specific obfuscation and lack of clear indicators prevent definitive family attribution.
