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

The sample is a malicious Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro. The macro attempts to disable security features and manipulate the Normal template, likely to establish persistence or download a second-stage payload. The presence of the Document_Open macro and the nature of the VBA code strongly suggest a macro-based downloader, commonly used in phishing attacks.
