MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1547.001 Registry Run Keys / Startup Folder

The sample contains a VBA macro that executes upon opening the document, as indicated by the 'Document_Open' macro and the 'OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN' heuristic. The macro attempts to establish persistence by writing to the registry key HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\IAccessible2Proxy. This behavior is consistent with a malicious document designed to maintain access to the compromised system.
