This OOXML document contains VBA macros, specifically triggering AutoOpen and Workbook_Open events, indicating an attempt to automatically execute malicious code upon opening. The presence of LOLBin references and calls to Windows API functions like CreateRemoteThread, VirtualAllocEx, and WriteProcessMemory strongly suggests the macro's purpose is to download and execute a second-stage payload. The ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature.
