T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
T1140 Deobfuscate/Decode Files or Information
The sample is a Microsoft Word document with a high-confidence detection for Emotet malware. It contains VBA macros, including a Document_Open auto-execution macro, which uses CreateObject to likely download and execute a second-stage payload. The VBA code appears obfuscated, but the presence of the 'macros.bas' file and the ClamAV detection strongly indicate a malicious intent.
