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

The sample is a malicious Office document containing a VBA macro that is triggered by the Document_Open event. The macro attempts to disable virus protection and copy itself to the Normal template, likely to establish persistence or facilitate further execution. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Trojan.Thus-10' strongly indicates malicious intent, suggesting the macro is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload.

Heuristics 4
