MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The sample is an XLSX file containing VBA macros. The document body reveals a PowerShell command designed to download an executable from 'sparepartiran.com' and then execute it. This indicates the file's purpose is to act as a downloader for a second-stage payload. The presence of VBA macros and the specific PowerShell execution command are strong indicators of malicious intent.
