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

The file is an OOXML document containing a VBA project with an AutoOpen macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening. ClamAV signatures also confirm its malicious nature. The VBA script uses Windows API calls such as CreateProcess, suggesting it is designed to download and execute a second-stage payload.
