The sample contains VBA macros, including an AutoOpen macro, which is a common delivery mechanism. The heuristics indicate the use of WinExec and visible LOLBin command execution. The embedded URL http://lfcsghosi.co.in///test.sct is likely used to download and execute a malicious script, which is a common attack pattern for this type of document.
