MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The sample contains VBA macros that execute upon opening, leveraging WScript.Shell and CreateObject to download a payload from a remote URL. The AutoOpen macro initiates the process by fetching content from an external relationship and then executing it. The script constructs a temporary file path at 'C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp\main.theme' and attempts to execute it, indicating a downloader functionality.
