MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The VBA macro explicitly uses the URLDownloadToFile API to download a file from a deobfuscated URL. The script then attempts to execute this downloaded file, likely a second-stage payload. The deobfuscated URL is "http://137.123.128.127.134.133.76.76.76.123.128.136.119.133.134.130.132.123.118.119.133.64.117.129.127". The downloaded file is saved to the temporary directory with a random name.
