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

The critical ClamAV heuristic identified the file as a dropper. The embedded VBA macro contains obfuscated code that, when deobfuscated, appears to construct a command string from constants and then execute it using the Shell function. This indicates the macro's purpose is to download and run a secondary payload. The presence of VBA macros also suggests a spearphishing attachment vector.
