The Workbook_Open macro fires automatically when the spreadsheet is opened, indicating a malicious intent. The macro executes a PowerShell command that downloads a file from 'http://45.66.250.101/iT/DFI-60177.jpg' and saves it as 'C:\Users\Public\Documents\yedwwpshn.exe', then executes the downloaded file. This indicates the sample is a downloader for a second-stage payload.
