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

The sample is a malicious OOXML document containing a VBA macro. The macro, named 'NewMacros', utilizes Windows API calls to create a new process, suggesting it's intended to download and execute a second-stage payload. The ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Malware.Valyria-10015188-0' further confirms its malicious nature.
