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

The sample contains VBA macros, including an AutoOpen macro, which is a common delivery mechanism for malicious documents. Heuristics indicate the use of WinExec and cmd.exe, suggesting the macro attempts to execute commands. The presence of a heap-spray pattern further supports malicious intent. While no specific family is identified, the techniques suggest a downloader or dropper functionality.
