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

The VBA macro within this Excel file utilizes a GetObject call to write a VBScript payload, named 'WpPwf.vbs', to the user's AppData directory. The script is then executed, indicating a likely downloader or initial execution stage for further malicious activity. The Environ$("AppData") function is used to construct the full path to the dropped file.
