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

The sample was detected as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Doc.Downloader.Powdow-7643936-0, indicating it is a downloader. Static analysis revealed VBA macros, including CreateObject and CallByName calls, which are commonly used to execute malicious code. The presence of obfuscated VBA code and the detection signature strongly suggest the document's purpose is to download and execute a second-stage payload.
