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

The sample is a malicious Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro. The macro attempts to disable virus protection and copy itself to the Normal template and other open documents, indicating an attempt to establish persistence and spread. The ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Trojan.Thus-8' further confirms its malicious nature.
