The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Doc.Trojan.Thus-8. It contains a VBA macro that executes upon opening the document, as indicated by the 'Document_Open' macro firing. The macro's primary function appears to be to copy itself to the Normal template and potentially download and execute a secondary payload, although the full script is truncated.
