MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell

The VBA macro within the Excel file is designed to execute a PowerShell command. This command reconstructs a URL from concatenated strings and downloads a file named 'notepads.vbs' to the user's temporary directory, which is then executed. The script uses GetObject to interact with WMI, likely to facilitate the execution of the downloaded payload. The specific URL reconstructed is 'http://moc.ehgityennikcm//:ptth'.
