MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample is an XLSM file containing VBA macros. The document body explicitly contains a PowerShell command designed to download an executable from 'sparepartiran.com' and then execute it. This indicates a downloader attack pattern. The presence of VBA macros and the PowerShell execution command are strong indicators of malicious intent.
