MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File T1059.001 PowerShell

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV and contains VBA macros, including an AutoOpen macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening the document. The presence of CreateObject calls further suggests the execution of arbitrary code. The primary function of the VBA script appears to be downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as indicated by the heuristic firings and the nature of downloader malware. No specific family could be confidently identified.
