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

The critical ClamAV heuristic and the presence of a Document_Open VBA macro indicate malicious intent. The VBA macro attempts to copy itself to other projects and searches for specific files, suggesting it's designed to download and execute a secondary payload. The macro's functionality is partially truncated, limiting a full analysis.
