MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
The sample contains VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro that uses CreateObject, indicating malicious intent. ClamAV detection confirms it as malware, specifically Emotet. The VBA code appears to be obfuscated but is designed to execute a payload, likely by downloading it from a remote source. The presence of a Document_Open macro and the use of CreateObject are strong indicators of Emotet's typical behavior.
