The sample is a malicious OOXML document detected as IcedID by ClamAV. It contains a VBA project with an AutoOpen macro, which is designed to execute automatically. The presence of CreateObject calls and Environ() calls suggests the macro attempts to interact with the system and potentially download additional content. The primary function appears to be downloading and executing a second-stage payload.
