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

The critical OLE_VBA_SHELL heuristic indicates the presence of a Shell() call within the VBA macros. The script reconstructs a PowerShell command to download a second-stage executable from 'http://ddl8.data.hu/get/288294828/Wqfap.exe' and save it as 'Xqtsmwmlhfezvoqikrbtrhz.bat', which is then executed. This indicates the document's primary purpose is to act as a downloader for further malicious activity.
