MITRE ATT&CK

The VBA macros contain references to URLDownloadToFile and WScript.Shell, indicating an intent to download and execute a payload. The AutoOpen macro is present, suggesting automatic execution upon opening the document. The presence of `Declare PtrSafe Function CadenaParametro Lib "urlmon" Alias "URLDownloadToFileA"` strongly suggests the macro attempts to download a file from a URL.
