The sample is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Doc.Trojan.Thus-8. It contains a VBA macro within the Document_Open subroutine that attempts to disable virus protection and copy itself to the Normal template, likely to establish persistence or facilitate further execution. The macro's logic suggests it is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload.
