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

The file is an OOXML document containing VBA macros, specifically triggering AutoOpen and Workbook_Open heuristics, indicating malicious intent. The VBA code attempts to use Windows API functions like CreateRemoteThread and VirtualAllocEx, suggesting it aims to inject and execute code, likely a second-stage payload. The presence of the 'Valyria' ClamAV signature further confirms its malicious nature.
