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

The file contains VBA macros, including an AutoOpen macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening the document. The ClamAV detection explicitly names this as IcedID, a known downloader. The VBA code likely uses CreateObject to download and execute a second-stage payload from a remote source, aligning with the typical behavior of IcedID.
