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

The sample is a malicious Office document containing VBA macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. The embedded VBA script attempts to export itself to 'c:\xix.drv', indicating a payload staging or execution attempt. The ClamAV detections 'Win.Trojan.Pivis-2' and 'Doc.Trojan.Vmpc-1' further confirm its malicious nature.
