The sample contains a VBA macro that executes upon opening the document. This macro uses URLDownloadToFile to download a second-stage executable from a Discord CDN URL to 'C:\Users\Public\Music\DroppedStub.exe'. Subsequently, the Shell() function is used to execute the downloaded file, indicating a downloader or droppper functionality.
