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

The Excel file contains a Workbook_Open and Auto_Open macro that calls a function to execute a file named CC.inf from the temporary directory. The macro attempts to use the LaunchINFSectionW API, suggesting it's designed to execute an INF file, which is a common technique for initial payload execution. The presence of the Environ() call indicates it's attempting to dynamically locate the temporary directory.
