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

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Win.Trojan.Azrael-3. It contains a legacy WordBasic auto-exec macro marker ('aUtOoPeN') which is a strong indicator of malicious intent. The macro likely attempts to download and execute a payload from the path 'e:\temp\1\*.dlld', and the presence of 'azrael_2.dot' suggests a connection to the Azrael family.
