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

The file is an Office document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. ClamAV signatures indicate it is a known malicious document, likely a Trojan. The document body presents a benign-looking math problem, suggesting a social engineering lure to encourage macro execution. The Document_Open macro is likely responsible for downloading and executing a secondary payload.
