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

The file is detected as IcedID by ClamAV, and heuristics indicate the presence of VBA macros with an AutoOpen function. This suggests the document is designed to execute malicious code upon opening. The AutoOpen macro likely downloads and executes a second-stage payload, consistent with IcedID's typical behavior.
