T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment
T1204.002 Malicious File
The sample contains VBA macros, including a Document_Open auto-execution macro, which is a common technique for Emotet. The ClamAV detection explicitly names Emotet and identifies it as a downloader. The heuristics indicate the use of CreateObject and GetObject, typical for executing malicious code. The VBA script is heavily obfuscated but the presence of these indicators strongly suggests a downloader payload designed to fetch and execute further stages.
