T1059.001 Command and Scripting Interpreter
T1071.001 Application Layer Command and Scripting
The VBA macro contains a `Shell()` call that executes a URL. The URL itself contains obfuscated strings, suggesting an attempt to evade detection. The `auto_close` macro, combined with the `Shell()` call, indicates a macro-based downloader attempting to execute a command. The `Replace` function suggests an attempt to obfuscate the URL. The document's purpose is likely to download and execute a secondary payload.
