MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is an OOXML document containing a Workbook_Open VBA macro, which is a strong indicator of malicious intent. The macro is designed to execute a batch file and a VBScript located in the \`c:\programdata\\` directory. The script also attempts to download payloads from multiple URLs, including \`http://reumatismclinic.com/--/scCnm3mbJRpwBvbrC/\`, \`https://shodmanjar.com/wp-admin/xJE4M4Pd3N/\`, and others. The ClamAV detection further confirms the malicious nature of the file.
