T1059.005 Visual Basic
T1204.002 Malicious File
The sample contains VBA macros, including a Document_Open auto-execution macro, which is a common technique for Emotet. The macro utilizes CreateObject to execute code, indicative of a downloader. ClamAV detection further supports the Emotet family attribution. The obfuscated nature of the VBA code and the presence of a Document_Open macro suggest the primary purpose is to download and execute a secondary payload.
