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

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV and contains a VBA project with an AutoOpen macro. The VBA code appears to be attempting to use Windows API functions like CreateProcess, suggesting it's designed to execute a payload. The presence of the AutoOpen macro and the VBA code strongly indicates this document is intended to be delivered as a malicious attachment.
