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

The file is a malicious OOXML document containing a VBA macro, specifically an AutoOpen macro, which is designed to execute automatically upon opening. The heuristic firings indicate the use of CreateObject, a common technique for launching payloads. The ClamAV detection and the presence of a VBA project strongly suggest this document acts as a dropper for further malicious activity, likely downloading and executing a second-stage payload. No specific family could be identified, but the behavior is consistent with a generic dropper.
