MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File T1059.003 Windows Command Shell

The AutoOpen VBA macro contains a critical Shell() call that executes cmd.exe. This command uses curl to download a file named 'payment.exe' from the reconstructed URL 'http://ps://discorcdn.com/attachments/1126271571837862069/1143072259188195458/payment.exe' into the user's APPDATA directory and then executes it. This indicates a downloader or initial access stage for further malicious activity.
