MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature 'Doc.Trojan.Thus-8'. Static analysis detected VBA macros, and specifically a 'Document_Open' macro, indicating that malicious code executes automatically upon opening the document. The document body presents a math worksheet, which serves as a lure to distract the user from the malicious activity. No specific malware family could be confidently identified.
