The sample is a malicious OLE document containing VBA macros. The macros utilize a heap spray and reference certutil for downloading and decoding, indicating a dropper functionality. The ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Dropper.Sagent-9765455-0' strongly suggests the Sagent family. The VBA macros are designed to download and execute a second-stage payload, likely using certutil.
