MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1140 Deobfuscate or Reverse-Engineer Malicious Software T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample contains VBA macros that leverage `CreateObject` and string manipulation to construct commands for downloading and saving payloads. Specifically, it appears to use `certutil -decode` and `Rundll32` to process and execute a second-stage payload. The macro attempts to save files as '.xls' and '.pdf' in the C:\Users\Public\ directory, suggesting a dropper functionality.
