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

The sample contains VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening a document. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Trojan.Thus-8' strongly indicates malicious intent. The macro code appears to be designed to ensure its persistence and potentially download further payloads, although the exact download URL is truncated.
