MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell

The OOXML document contains VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening. The presence of a GetObject call further suggests code execution. The embedded script, though truncated, appears to be PowerShell code that gathers system information and potentially executes commands, indicating a downloader or initial access payload. The confidence is slightly reduced due to the truncated nature of the script.
