medium SE_ENABLE_LURE

What it means

Document instructs the user to enable macros or editing.

Why it fires

Macro malware often uses fake preview text or security-warning language to push the user toward 'Enable Content' or 'Enable Macros'. This finding means the document contains that kind of instruction; it does not prove the macros are malicious by itself.
