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

The sample contains VBA macros that are designed to execute arbitrary code via the Shell() function. The script attempts to write a payload to 'c:\hsf0000.sys' and then upload it using FTP commands to '209.201.88.110'. This indicates the document is a downloader for a second-stage malicious payload.
