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

The file contains VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a critical indicator of malicious intent. The ClamAV heuristic also identifies the file as 'Doc.Trojan.Thus-8'. The macro code appears to be designed to ensure its persistence and execution, likely to download and run a second-stage payload. No specific family could be identified, but the behavior is consistent with a macro-based downloader.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Doc.Trojan.Thus-8 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
