MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic

The sample is an OLE document containing VBA macros. The macros are designed to infect the Normal.dot template and the active document with malicious code, as indicated by the 'Doc.Trojan.Marker-17' ClamAV detection. The VBA code attempts to find and add specific strings to the code modules of both the active document and the Normal template, suggesting a self-propagating infection mechanism.
