MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample is an XLSM file containing VBA macros. The VBA code constructs a PowerShell command to download a file named 'Sega4b.exe' from 'http://ddl8.data.hup/get/38505045/13105765/Sega4b.exe' and execute it. The script also attempts to save a batch file named 'Uyvkpyijlslw.bat' and potentially execute it. The presence of Shell() calls and the construction of a PowerShell command indicate a downloader functionality.
