MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.003 Windows Command Shell

The file is an OOXML document containing a VBA project with an AutoOpen macro. This macro utilizes the Shell() function, indicating an attempt to execute external code. ClamAV detection confirms this as a downloader. The primary intent appears to be downloading and executing a second-stage payload, as suggested by the 'Doc.Downloader' classification.
