MITRE ATT&CK

The file is a DOCM document containing VBA macros, indicated by multiple OLE_VBA heuristics. The 'macros.bas' script uses Windows API calls like CreateRemoteThread, VirtualAllocEx, and WriteProcessMemory, suggesting it's designed to inject and execute code. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Malware.Valyria-10012625-0' further confirms its malicious nature, likely involving the download and execution of a secondary payload.
