MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic
T1204.002 Malicious File
The sample is a malicious Office document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro that uses CreateObject to execute code. The ClamAV detection explicitly identifies it as 'Doc.Downloader.Emotet-9765780-0'. The VBA script appears to be heavily obfuscated but its intent is to download and execute a second-stage payload, likely via PowerShell, as indicated by the heuristic firings and the presence of obfuscated PowerShell-related strings in the document body.
