MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer T1218.011 System Binary Proxy Execution: Rundll32

The sample is a malicious OLE document containing VBA macros. Heuristics indicate the use of `certutil` for downloading and decoding, and `CreateObject` for execution. The VBA macros likely download and execute a second-stage payload, as suggested by the `certutil` and `Rundll32` references. The document body contains suspicious strings like `winmgmts:Win32_Process` and `Rundll32`, further supporting the execution of malicious code.
