MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample contains VBA macros that utilize the Shell() function to execute commands. Specifically, it decodes a Base64 string which, when executed, downloads a file named 'C87b1mDlYqH306206IMG.exe' from 'http://coachcarnewilliamltd.com/' and then executes it. The VBA code also reconstructs a PowerShell command to execute, likely for further payload delivery or obfuscation.
