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

The VBA macros contain critical heuristic firings for Shell(), WScript.Shell, and URLDownloadToFile, indicating an attempt to download and execute a second-stage payload. The URL 'https://github.com/florentbr/SeleniumBasic/releases/download/v2.0.9.0/SeleniumBasic-2.0.9.0.*' is referenced, likely serving as the source for this payload. The presence of these indicators strongly suggests a malicious intent to compromise the user's system.
