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

The critical ClamAV heuristic firings, 'Doc.Trojan.Thus-8', indicate a known malicious document. The presence of a 'Document_Open' VBA macro, which is designed to execute automatically when the document is opened, strongly suggests an attempt to establish persistence or download additional malicious content. The macro code appears to copy itself to the Normal template to ensure it runs on subsequent document openings.
