MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is an OOXML document containing VBA macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro that utilizes the Shell() function. This indicates an attempt to download and execute a second-stage payload. The presence of 'macros.bas' as an extracted artifact further supports this. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Downloader.835b97208387fc57-OOXML-9981517-0' confirms its downloader capabilities.
