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

The sample is a malicious Word document containing VBA macros, indicated by multiple high-severity heuristic firings including AutoOpen and Document_Open. The embedded VBA script attempts to disable virus protection and copy itself to the NormalTemplate, likely to establish persistence or facilitate the execution of a secondary payload. The ClamAV detection name 'Doc.Trojan.Thus-10' further confirms its malicious nature.
