T1059.001 PowerShell
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
T1204.002 Malicious File
The sample is a malicious OOXML document containing VBA macros. The Auto_Open and Workbook_Open macros trigger the execution of a PowerShell command that downloads a payload from the URL 'https://plus.cyberessentials.live/macro.php'. This indicates a downloader pattern, likely delivered via spearphishing.
