The file is an XLSM document, indicating the presence of VBA macros. Heuristics confirm VBA macros and a GetObject call, often used for obfuscation or execution. The DOC BODY contains a PowerShell command that reconstructs a URL ('http://91.235.143.133/tfdff/mef.vbs') and executes it. This PowerShell command is designed to download and execute the VBScript payload from the specified URL, likely serving as a downloader for further malicious activity.
