MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is a malicious OLE document containing VBA macros. The presence of ShellExecute and GetObject API calls, along with the ClamAV detection, strongly indicates malicious intent. The VBA macros are likely responsible for downloading and executing a second-stage payload, a common technique for malware distribution.
