MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter

The sample is a malicious Office document containing VBA macros. The presence of the Document_Open macro and references to Windows API functions such as VirtualProtectEx and CreateThread indicate that the macros are designed to execute code, likely to download and run a second-stage payload. The ClamAV detection further confirms its malicious nature.
