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

The Workbook_Open macro executes a PowerShell command that downloads a file from 'http://weeshoppi.com/wp-includes/ID3/z/601229.jpg' and saves it as 'C:\Users\Public\Pictures\zktxyzo.exe'. The script then immediately executes the downloaded file. This indicates a downloader or droppper functionality.
