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

The sample contains a VBA macro that is triggered by the Document_Open event, indicating an attempt to execute malicious code upon opening. The macro appears to be designed to infect the system, as suggested by the ClamAV detection 'Doc.Trojan.Thus-8'. The macro's logic involves manipulating NormalTemplate and ActiveDocument VBProjects, likely to ensure persistence or spread.
