T1059.005 Visual Basic
T1059.001 PowerShell
T1204.002 Malicious File
The file contains VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro that uses CreateObject, indicating an attempt to execute code automatically. The ClamAV detection explicitly names Emotet, a known banking trojan and downloader. The VBA script, though obfuscated, contains calls to CreateObject, consistent with Emotet's behavior of downloading and executing further stages.
