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

The sample contains a critical ClamAV detection for Win.Trojan.Heathen-1 and a high-severity heuristic for GetProcAddress, indicating malicious activity. The AutoOpen VBA macro attempts to create a mutex named 'Heathen is here' and contains obfuscated code that likely downloads and executes a second-stage payload. The presence of VBA macros and the AutoOpen function strongly suggests this is a malicious document delivered via spearphishing.
