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

The file is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. The document body presents as a school science department course expectation, likely a lure to encourage users to enable macros. The presence of VBA macros and the Document_Open trigger strongly suggest an attack pattern involving macro-based execution of malicious code.
