MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer T1204.002 Malicious File

The VBA macro contains calls to URLDownloadToFileA and Shell(), indicating an intent to download and execute a second-stage payload. The macro reconstructs the URL '2ht40t1p11s4:6/12/3d6op66ler90to8ol1.c4o0m4' and uses 'rundll32.exe' to execute the downloaded file. The use of Environ() suggests it may attempt to save the payload to a user-specific location.
