MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic
T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter
T1204.002 Malicious File
The sample is a malicious Office document containing VBA macros. The AutoOpen macro triggers a Shell() call, which is highly indicative of downloading and executing a second-stage payload. The ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Malware.Powload-6797938-0' further supports its malicious nature and suggests a potential PowerShell-based downloader.
