MITRE ATT&CK

The sample is an OOXML document containing VBA macros, indicated by multiple heuristic firings including 'OOXML_VBA', 'OLE_VBA_AUTOOPEN', and 'OLE_VBA_WBOPEN'. The extracted VBA script uses Windows API calls such as 'CreateRemoteThread', 'VirtualAllocEx', and 'WriteProcessMemory', suggesting it is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload. ClamAV detections further confirm its malicious nature.
