I have downloaded word document for analysis from VirusTotal

I checked file with Oletools to verify macro exist and is it auto executable.

In below screenshot, it can be seen, the macro is present and auto executable.

I opened word document and Enabled Editing.

Views > Macros > View Macros > Select Autoopen > Edit

I renamed autoopen() to autoopen2() so it will not execute on document open.

I started debugging VBA and found base64 string which executes PowerShell script to download a malicious file

from remote server.

Below is the base64 string used in macro
