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

The file is an Office document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. ClamAV detections further confirm its malicious nature. The presence of the 'macros.bas' artifact indicates that the VBA code is the primary mechanism for delivering the malicious payload, likely involving the download and execution of a second-stage artifact.
