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

The file is an Office document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro. ClamAV detections indicate it is a Trojan. The presence of a Document_Open macro strongly suggests it is designed to execute malicious code upon opening, likely to download and execute a secondary payload. The document body itself appears to be legitimate administrative text, indicating the malicious content is hidden within the macros.
