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

The file is an OLE document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common delivery mechanism for malware. ClamAV detections further confirm its malicious nature. The presence of a Document_Open macro suggests the intent is to execute malicious code automatically when the document is opened, likely to download and execute a secondary payload. No specific family could be identified.
