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

The sample is a malicious Office document containing VBA macros, specifically an AutoOpen macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. The macros attempt to write a file named 'Iron.tmp' to the 'c:\' directory. This suggests the document is likely a downloader or dropper for a secondary payload.
