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

The file is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common delivery mechanism for malware. The document body is disguised as a programming assignment, likely to trick the user into enabling macros. ClamAV detections further confirm its malicious nature. No specific IOCs were extracted beyond the presence of macros.
