MITRE ATT&CK

T1059.001 PowerShell T1059.003 Windows Command Shell T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is an OOXML document containing VBA macros. Heuristics indicate the presence of PowerShell and cmd.exe references within the VBA code, suggesting an attempt to execute external commands. The VBA code itself appears to be heavily obfuscated, but the presence of these references strongly implies a downloader or dropper functionality. The primary attack vector is likely spearphishing attachment.
