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

The sample is detected as IcedID by ClamAV and contains a VBA macro that executes via the AutoOpen subroutine. The script reconstructs a filename from a reversed string and saves the document content to that file, then executes it. This indicates a downloader functionality, likely to retrieve and execute a second-stage payload.
