MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The sample contains a Workbook_Open macro that executes a PowerShell command. This command downloads a file from http://weeshoppi.com/wp-includes/ID3/g1/741000.jpg and saves it as C:\Users\Public\Documents\lvmisap.exe, then executes it. This indicates a downloader functionality, aiming to fetch and run a second-stage payload.
