MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample contains VBA macros that obfuscate and execute PowerShell commands. These commands are designed to download and run a second-stage payload from a list of hardcoded URLs. The ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Downloader.EmotetRedDawn11210-9912807-0' strongly suggests an Emotet variant, which is known for its downloader capabilities.
