MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

This command is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload named 'MSWORD.exe' from the URL http://bollrathelektronik.de/MSWORD.exe. The document body appears to be a product list, likely a lure to entice the user to open the malicious document.
