MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample contains VBA macros that execute obfuscated commands via Wscript.Shell. These commands attempt to download and run malicious VBS and BAT files from multiple URLs, including 'http://fulleyness-safety.com/-/P6x/' and 'https://nabajyotifunadation.com/da8uc7jo/4Za/'. The Workbook_Open macro is triggered automatically, indicating a downloader functionality.
