MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution

The sample contains a critical DDEAUTO command that executes a PowerShell script. This script is designed to download a second-stage JavaScript payload from the URL 'https://u.lewd.se/EG0Hcr_documento.js' and then execute it. The document body attempts to lure the user into opening the file by claiming it requires an update, which is a common social engineering tactic for malicious documents.
