MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample is an Office document containing VBA macros, as indicated by the OLE_VBA_MACROS heuristic and the presence of the 'macros.bas' file. The VBA code appears to be attempting to modify the document's VBA project and potentially the Normal template, which is a common technique for malware persistence or payload delivery. The ClamAV detections further confirm its malicious nature.
