The sample contains VBA macros that utilize the Shell() function to execute a PowerShell command. This command downloads a second-stage PowerShell script from the hardcoded URL 'http://192.168.10.136:80/A1' and saves it to 'C:\Users\Arks7\Desktop\Bypass\Y.ps1', before executing it. This indicates a downloader or droppper functionality.
