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

The file contains a critical heuristic firing for OLE_VBA_DOCOPEN, indicating a Document_Open macro was present. This macro is designed to execute automatically when the document is opened. The VBA code appears to be obfuscated but its intent is to modify the document's code, a common technique for downloading and executing further malicious content. The ClamAV detection 'Doc.Trojan.Strings-1' further supports the malicious nature of the file.

Heuristics 4
