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

The sample is a malicious DOC file containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro designed to execute automatically. High-confidence heuristics indicate the presence of suspicious extracted artifacts, including a long encoded blob and VBA auto-execution. The Document_Open macro likely attempts to download and execute a secondary payload, as suggested by the CreateObject call and the presence of the 'macros.bas' embedded artifact.
