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 designed to execute automatically. The macro's intent is unclear due to truncation, but ClamAV detections indicate it's a known trojan marker. The document body presents a Java syllabus as a lure to encourage macro execution.
