The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature 'Doc.Trojan.Model-2'. It contains VBA macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening a document. The document body is crafted to appear as an official municipal form, likely to trick the user into enabling macros and executing the payload.
