MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.003 Windows Command Shell

The critical heuristic firing indicates the presence of a Shell() call within the VBA macros. The script reconstructs a PowerShell command that downloads an executable file named 'Sega5.exe' from 'http://ddl8.data.hu/get/246747/13107078/Sega5.exe' and then executes it. This PowerShell command is written to a batch file named 'Wprowyrtx.bat' and subsequently executed. The confidence is high due to the clear payload download and execution mechanism.
