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

The file is an Office document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. The document body presents as an academic assignment, likely to trick the user into enabling macros. The presence of a Document_Open macro strongly suggests the intent is to execute malicious code upon opening the document. No specific family could be identified, and no external IOCs were extracted.
