MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic for Applications

The file contains VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for initiating malicious actions upon opening a document. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Trojan.Story-1' strongly suggests a known malware variant. The document body presents what appears to be legitimate business information, likely intended to trick the user into enabling macros. The VBA macros are obfuscated, indicating an attempt to hide malicious code that likely downloads and executes a second-stage payload.
