MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for malicious documents. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Trojan.Thus-8' strongly suggests malicious intent. The VBA script attempts to disable virus protection and copy itself to the NormalTemplate, indicating an attempt to establish persistence and potentially download further malicious content.
