The file is an OOXML document detected by ClamAV as Doc.Trojan.Maldade-10036492-0. It contains a VBA macro that displays a message box, indicating it is designed to execute code. While the macro itself is benign, its presence in a file flagged as malicious suggests it is part of a larger malicious chain, potentially downloading or executing a secondary payload.
