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

The sample is a malicious Office document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. The macro code appears to modify the document and potentially download additional payloads, as indicated by the ClamAV detections and the presence of VBA code. The document body is disguised as an educational worksheet to lure the user into enabling macros.
