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

The file contains a VBA macro with an AutoOpen function, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening a document. The macro attempts to export itself as 'Yvonne.sys' to the startup directory and also references 'msfile.bat' in the startup directory, suggesting a payload delivery mechanism. The ClamAV detection as 'Win.Trojan.Pivis-2' further supports its malicious nature.
