The sample contains a VBA macro with an AutoOpen subroutine that is triggered upon opening the document. This macro uses MSXML2.XMLHTTP60 to download content from an external URL, which is then written to a file named 'main.theme' in the user's temporary directory. The script then executes this downloaded file using WshShell.exec, indicating a downloader functionality.
