MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1547.001 Registry Run Keys / Startup Folder

The sample contains a VBA macro that executes automatically via the Document_Open event. This macro attempts to disable virus protection and copy itself to the Normal template and other open documents, indicating a persistence and spreading mechanism. The ClamAV detection of 'Doc.Trojan.Thus-5' further supports its malicious nature.
