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

The file is a malicious Office document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. The macro logic appears to check for specific dates and potentially modifies the Normal.dot template, which could be used for persistence or further malicious actions. The presence of ClamAV detections further supports its malicious nature.
