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

The sample contains VBA macros, including an AutoOpen macro, and uses CreateObject, indicating it is designed to execute code upon opening. The ClamAV detection and heuristic firings strongly suggest this is a downloader. No specific URLs were extracted, but the presence of VBA macros and the AutoOpen function points to a malicious document designed to fetch and run a secondary payload.
