MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1204.002 Malicious File

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Doc.Downloader.BlueWord12211-9918950-0. Static analysis revealed the presence of VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is designed to execute automatically when the document is opened. This macro likely attempts to download and execute a second-stage payload, a common technique for malware delivery. The extracted information strongly suggests a macro-based downloader attack pattern.
