MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is a Microsoft Word document containing a malicious VBA macro. The 'Document_Open' macro is present and configured to execute automatically upon opening the document, leveraging a 'GetObject' call. ClamAV identifies this as 'Doc.Downloader.Emotet-7473714-0', strongly suggesting Emotet family. The macro's likely intent is to download and execute a second-stage payload.
